What is crises over Morocco?Show answer
The clearest example of colonial rivalry causing tension was the two crises over Morocco in North Africa. France wanted to control Morocco, but Germany twice challenged this, in 1905 and again in 1911, partly to test the strength of the friendship between Britain and France. On both occasions the dispute brought Europe close to war. Although war was avoided each time, the crises had an important effect: instead of dividing Britain and France, they pushed the two countries closer together against Germany.
