The following commentary about Agadir Crisis, 1911 in the Churchill Era is produced by the Churchill College (Cambridge): The second of the Moroccan crises (see Moroccan crisis, 1905) leading to the outbreak of World War I. The Germans sent the gunboat “Panther” to the Moroccan port of Agadir, claiming that the French had ignored the terms of the Algeciras Conference.
