How the Moroccan crises contributed to the start of World war one
Moroccan crisis: 1
The moroccan crisis was caused primarily by the French and the German governments. France had signed a treaty with Spain agreeing to share Morocco evenly. France also agreed that if Britain gave them Morocco they would stay out of Britain's plans to control Egypt. Germany did not agree with any of the policies that Britain, France and Spain had come up with and they demanded and open door policy on the control of Morocco. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany sailed to Morocco to declare their independence, wreaking havoc with the rest of Europe. (1905-1906)
Resolved?
The first Moroccan crisis was resolved in January- April of 1906 at the Algeciras Conference. Germany agreed the French and the Spanish would run Morocco.
Moroccan crisis: 2
The second Moroccan crisis took place in 1911 when a German gunboat was spotted of the coast of Agadir. Germany was questioning France's "rights" regarding the policing of Morocco and created insanely high tensions between the allies and themselves. Britain sent warships to Agadir to retaliate against Germany. Eventually the situation was diffused when Germany agreed that France should have ownership of Morocco and Germany would gain control of small areas in the French Congo.
Moroccan crisis = WW1
The Moroccan crisis was a huge contributing factor to the beginning of World War one as it drove barriers between the European countries. The Moroccan crisis meant that the ties between the allies grew much stronger and the tensions rose, leading to the war, this was the German's plan and it succeeded.
