Source A
Here is a cartoon about the First Morocco Crisis (1905-1906).
Entente cordiale
“I thought it was a piece of paper, but it is tough as a rock.” - William II，
Source B
The following is an abstract from the book “The World Crisis” by Winston Churchill about WWI. He wrote about the reaction of Britain regarding the German actions during the First Morocco Crisis.
The German King unexpectedly sent the “SMS Panther” to Agadir, as to defend his own interests in Morocco. European soil was in jeopardy. Britain realised that the formation of the German naval base on the African Atlantic coast would impose threats on our naval superiority. Allying with France was the only option for us to maintain the balance of power. |
