Editing French Foreign Legion (section)

====Spanish "Foreign Legion"====
{{Main|Spanish Legion}}

The Spanish ''Tercio de Extranjeros'' was created in 1920, in direct emulation of the French Foreign Legion. It subsequently had a significant role in Spain's colonial wars in [[Morocco]] and in the [[Spanish Civil War]] on the Nationalist side. The Spanish Foreign Legion recruited foreigners until 1986 but unlike its French model, the number of non-Spanish recruits never exceeded 25%, most of these from Latin America. It is now called the ''Spanish Legion'' and has been involved in several modern conflicts and operations, including Afghanistan and the UN Mission in Lebanon [[United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon|UNIFIL]] .<ref>{{Cite web |last=20minutos |date=2006-10-31 |title=La Legión asume el mando en Líbano tras culminar Infantería de Marina su misión |url=https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/167784/0/Libano/Legion/relevo/ |access-date=2022-05-02 |website=www.20minutos.es – Últimas Noticias |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=La Moncloa. 20/09/2017.
