First Moroccan Crisis (1905)

On the WWI map as “The Kaiser at Tangier”

31 Mar 1905 — Wilhelm II rides through Tangier and announces his support for Moroccan independence. He means to test the new Anglo-French entente, but at the Algeciras conference in 1906 only Austria-Hungary backs Germany. The attempt to separate Britain and France has brought them closer together.
