Yes, yes, the Alhucemas operation was made feasible by French cooperation. But the Alhucemas operation was planned and mainly executed by the Spanish Army and Navy, making it a clear example (there are plenty more) that the Spanish Army doctrine was not "the doctrine of one army before of 1914". (And by the way, the operation was not "prepared in detail by F. Franco", who was by then a simple colonel.)Pedro Ruíz wrote:1.- The question of AlhucemasThe operation of disembark of Alhucemas for to give a great blow against the army of Ab-del-Krim was possible thanks to the French offensive a great scale made by the French troops from French Mooroco,this offensive was led by the best French marshall,the Marshall P. Petain.The success of Ab-del-Krim Army in Annual made fear to France that a great muslin revolt could expand to French Morocco then France sent to Morocco to hers best general,the Marshall Petain.He organized a task force with colonial elite units and the Staffs of France and Spain agreed to make an offensive a great scale against the Ab-de-Krim Army.While the Spanish Army made a great disembark in the North on Alhucemas bay with crack units -this operation was prepared in detail by F. Franco- the French Army would attack by the East from French Morocco,the main was to take between two fires to the Ab del Krim Army.This operation was a great success and the Ab del Krim Army was defeated.
Alhucemas was a great military success of the Spanish Army but this success was possible thanks to the French offensive launched by French Morocco and led by Marshall Petain
And if your are going to use the Annual Disaster as "proof" of the failure of one infantry army (the Spanish one), then you should learn why the French decided to involve themselves in the Rif War. It was not because "The success of Ab-del-Krim Army in Annual made fear to France that a great muslin revolt could expand to French Morocco" (as you say), but because the success of Ab-del-Krim in the French Morocco put the French control of the colony in danger: have you ever hear about the battle of Uarga in 1925, also known as the "French Annual"? A major defeat of the French forces in Morocco by the Riffean forces, that advanced to just 30 kilometers of Fez? So it seems the French army was also an "army of infantry" per your very criteria, not more advanced that the Spanish Army.
Yes, there is quite a number of advantages in developing a heavy industry. But you can have heavy industry and not a modern army, or a modern army withouth much of a heavy industry.Pedro Ruiz wrote:2.-Advantages to have a heavy industry.To be a great power in the world.To develop high technology.To change a country of shepherds of sheets and peasants in a great industrial power.In this way all are advantages....!
