Abstract
At the end of the First Wold War, defeated European empires forfeited a wealth of imperial patronage – including palaces, government buildings, and offices – to newly forming states in central Europe. While we know a great deal about these property reallocations, the fate of reassigned property in mandates and other newly emerging sovereign spaces, like international zones, is less well known. This article traces the ways in which central European properties were reallocated and sold in international zones, especially in the International Zone of Tangier. The article argues that while the remains of central European imperialism in Tangier were integrated into the international administration, these structures, and private property sales more broadly, offered avenues for bolstering imperial ambitions in a space of supposedly liberal international cooperation. The article concludes by showing how the competing bids by European powers to secure dominance in Tangier had important, unintended effects. They created an opportunity for Moroccan nationalists to challenge colonial rule and shape international expectations for how they would deal with foreign property in an age of global decolonisation.
