Europe 113 years ago today: Tangier Crisis (31 Mar 1906) https://buff.ly/2V7JDCW Germany viewed the Entente Cordiale as a threat and tried to exploit the tensions caused by the war between Russia and Japan to undermine it. However when the German Kaiser decided to openly support the Sultan of Morocco against the French, most of the other powers sided with France and he was forced to back down. As a compromise solution, the Algeciras Conference was called, affirming both Moroccan independence and French influence in Morocco. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1900s #1906 #europeanhistory #frenchempire #germanempire #march #march31 #morocco #tangiercrisis #britishempire #kaiserwilhelm #algeciras #tangier #scrambleforafrica #greatpowers #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #20thcentury #protectorate #spanishempire (at Tangier, Morocco) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvqa-7rgVEn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18e3co7whradx
