The Treaty of Paris was signed on 27 June 1900 between representatives of the Kingdom of Spain and the French Third Republic. The treaty delimited the borders of the Spanish colonies in the Sahara desert ( Río de Oro, part of Spanish Sahara) and Equatorial Africa ( Spanish Guinea) with respect to the adjoining French colonies on Africa. ^[1]

History

Based on the terms of the treaty, Río Muni was relieved of all conflicting claims. Spain was left with a mere 26,000 km² out of the 300,000 stretching east to the Ubangi River which they initially claimed. ^[2] Moreover, the treaty granted the French the right to pre-emptively seize all territories if Spain decided to abandon its possessions in Río Muni.
