Algeciras Conference (sh)




(Jan. 16-April 7, 1906) Conference held at Algeciras, Spain, that resolved the first of the Moroccan crises.

In 1905 William II objected to France's efforts to exert influence in Morocco, prompting a conference of the European powers and the U.S. Superficially, the Act of Algeciras (1906) seemed to limit French penetration, but the conference's real significance was the diplomatic support that Britain and the U.S. gave France, foreshadowing their roles in World War I.
