The Berlin Conference: The Forgotten Treaty of Algeciras

In 1906, a crisis in Morocco brought Europe to the brink of war, testing the very principles set by the Berlin Conference twenty years earlier. Lucas and Luna explore the First Moroccan Crisis and the Algeciras Conference, where Germany and France clashed over influence in North Africa. They discuss Sultan Abdelaziz, the Kaiser's provocative visit to Tangier, the role of Britain and the Entente Cordiale, and how a single diplomatic standoff reshaped colonial politics—paving the way for World War I. Learn about the Act of Algeciras, the policing of Moroccan ports, and the fate of the sultanate. A story of brinkmanship, treaties, and the fragile balance of power. #Morocco #AlgecirasConference #FirstMoroccanCrisis #SultanAbdelaziz #KaiserWilhelmII #Tangier #EntenteCordiale #TheodorRoosevelt #BerlinConference #ScrambleForAfrica #Diplomacy #WorldWarIOrigins #Colonialism #NorthAfrica #France #Germany #History #FexingoHistory #KingLeopold #OttoVonBismarck Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
