    The first Moroccan

    Crisis

    By Ticha, Sabine, Constantin, Andrew and Angelo

    What happened? - Ticha

    The first Moroccan crisis also known as the


    tangier crisis occurred in 1905-1906. It took place
    in Morocco

    In 1904 Britain and France signed an agreement


    called the Entente Cordiale

    During 1905 Britain had dominating power in


    Africa, followed by France Why did France and
    Germany want to take control of Morocco?

    How this crisis led to world war 1

    The German Kaiser nor the German government


    had any substantial interest in Morocco. The
    main purpose of his appearance was to disturb
    the Anglo-French Entente that was formed in
    April of 1904

    How is it related to the MAIN


    causes - Andrew

    What were the causes of the crisis? Are any of these related to the MAIN
    causes? Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany went to Tangiers to declare his support for
    the sultan of Morocco.This provoked France and Britain and this caused the
    first Moroccan crisis. With all this happening, it also led towards the greater
    conflict, World War 1.

    How was this related to the MAIN causes?

    Militarism. Germany had sent a war ship to Morocco, claiming that it was to
    benefit them and keep them well safe and protected. Britain, which was
    threatened, sent a naval patrol to Algeciras Harbour, both countries threatened
    each other with war and had many conflicts.

    Alliances. There was the Anglo-French Entente, which were made up by France
    and Britain. Then Germany started teaming up with Morocco. Germany was
    trying to team up with Morocco, to become a more powerful group. Germany
    had the desire to disrupt the Anglo-French Entente.

    Nationalism. When Britain found out about the war ship that was given to
    Morocco by Germany, Britain was ready to defend themselves and the first
    thing that they did was to send a naval patrol. Germany also felt threatened
    too. So they started threatening each other with threats of war. This caused
    outrage between the two countries and then have been very aggressive to each
    other and was also creating a lot of conflicts...

    Cause of the Moroccan crisis Angelo

    The underlying cause of the first Moroccan crises is because Kaiser


    Wilhelm, the last German emperor and king, arrived in Tangier,
    Morocco, which was currently a French colony and had a large
    amount of French influence, in order to inform the Sultan of the
    Country, that he has his support for Morocco becoming an
    independent country and no longer being part of/under the French
    rule.

    Who were the conflict parties? Consti

    -On March 31, 1905 Kaiser Wilhem II of Germany


    visited Tangier in Morocco

    He conferred with the Sultan Abdelaziz of Morocco and


    declared that he came because he wanted to support the
    sovereignty of the Sultan which was a provocative
    challenge to French influence in Morocco.

    Right after that the Sultan rejected a set of French


    proposed governmental reforms and issued invitations
    to major world powers in a conference which would
    advise him on necessary reforms.

    The First Moroccan Crisis also showed that the Entente


    Cordiale was strong, as Britain had defended France in
    the Crisis.

    How was the first Moroccan Crisis


    linked to world war 1? - Sabine

    During the First Moroccan Crises, France had hoped to conquer Morocco
    with the help of Britain

    German Kaiser Wilhelm visited Morocco in 1905 and promised to protect


    them from anyone who tried to invade them.

    This made Britain worried, as they thought that this was another one of
    Germany's attempts to build an empire to rival theirs. It also made
    France furious with Germany.

    After these events, there was a conference held in 1906, where Britain,
    Russia, and France forced Germany to stay out of Morocco.

    This made Germany angry, thinking that the other countries were
    trying to stop the German's from "occupying their rightful place in the
    world".

    A year later, Britain and Russia, alarmed by how ambitious the


    Germans were, made an Entente.
