Agadir Crisis



The Agadir Crisis, also called the Second Moroccan Crisis, was the international tension sparked by the deployment of a Germany warship to the Morocco port of Agadir on July 1, 1911. The German move was aimed at reinforcing claims for compensation for acceptance of effective France control of the North African kingdom, where France's pre-eminence had been upheld by the 1906 Algeciras Conference following the Tangier Crisis (or First Moroccan Crisis) of the previous year. Franco-German negotiations initiated on July 9 led to the conclusion (November 4) of a convention under which Germany accepted France's position in Morocco in return for territory in the French Equatorial African colony of Middle Congo (now the Republic of the Congo). France subsequently established a full protectorate over Morocco (March 30, 1912), ending what remained of the country's formal independence. United Kingdom backing for France during the crisis reinforced the Entente between the two countries and added to Anglo-German estrangement, deepening the divisions which would culminate in World War I.

Agadir Crisis



== Full Scale War == Why didn't full-sacle war break out in the port of Agadir? I am not exactly sure, but I belive that it was because of British diplomancy. --User:Revised 17:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Name of Ship == Does anyone have information on the specific name of the German warship? I have heard that it is Agadir but I wasn't able to prove that from any sources. I did find at http://orbat.com/site/history/historical/germany/navy1906.html that the name of the famous ship was the Panther. Does this sound right? Anyone know anything about this? -- --User:Revised 16:57, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Ship == Yeah the ship is called a Panther...
