    The tribes in Morocco rebelled against the French-backed Sultan, prompting France to occupy the Moroccan capital of Fez to protect its interests in Algeria. Germany protested the French action as a violation of agreements over Morocco and sent a gunboat to the port of Agadir, demanding part of the French Congo in compensation. Britain supported France and prepared for war, forcing Germany to withdraw from Agadir in humiliation and recognizing increased French control over Morocco.
