1905-06:

The First Moroccan Crisis (also known as the

Tangier Crisis) was an international crisis
between March 1905 and May 1906 over the
status of Morocco. The crisis worsened
German relations with both France and the
United Kingdom, and helped ensure the
success of the new Anglo-French Entente
Cordiale.

In the words of historian Christopher Clark "The AngloFrench Entente was strengthened rather than
weakened by the German challenge to France in
Morocco".

Second Moroccan Crisis 1911 The Entente holds again

The Agadir Crisis (also called
the Second Moroccan Crisis or
the
Panthersprung)
was
tension
sparked
by
the
deployment of a substantial
force of French troops into the
interior of Morocco in April
1911. Germany reacted by
sending the gunboat SMS
Panther to the Moroccan port
of Agadir, on 1 July 1911.
France's
pre-eminence
in
Morocco had been upheld by
the 1906 Algeciras Conference,
following the First Moroccan
Crisis of 19051906.

Second Moroccan Crisis 1911 - The Entente holds again

Anglo-German tensions were high at this time, partly due to an
arms race between Imperial Germany and Great Britain,
including German efforts to build a fleet two thirds the size of
Britain's.
Germany's move was aimed at testing the relationship between
Britain and France, and possibly intimidating Britain into an
alliance
with
Germany.
Germany
was
also
enforcing
compensation claims, for acceptance of effective French control
of Morocco.
Rather than scaring Britain, it turned Britain towards France.
British backing of France during the crisis reinforced the
Entente between the two countries and deepening the divisions.
Significantly for the events of August 1914, the crisis led British
Foreign Secretary Edward Grey and France to make a secret
naval agreement where the Royal Navy promised to protect the
northern coast of France from German attack, while France
concentrated her fleet in the western Mediterranean and agreed
to protect British interests there. France was thus able to guard

We have conquered for ourselves a place in the

sun. It will now be my task to see to it that this
place in the sun shall remain our undisputed
possession, in order that the sun's rays may fall
fruitfully upon our activity and trade in foreign
parts... The more Germans go out upon the
waters, whether it be in journeys across the
ocean, or in the service of the battle flag, so
much the better it will be for us.

Regatta Association, 1901.
