Historical story

How was the agadir crisis resolved?

The Agadir Crisis was resolved through a series of negotiations and agreements:

Franco-German Treaty (November 4, 1911):

1. Compensation for Germany: Germany recognized France's control over Morocco in exchange for territorial compensation in French Equatorial Africa (present-day Congo, Chad, and Central African Republic).

2. Economic Collaboration: Both countries agreed to respect each other's economic interests in their respective territories.

Second Moroccan Crisis Conference (1912):

1. International Recognition of French Protectorate: The major European powers recognized France's protectorate over Morocco, with exceptions granted to Spain in certain regions.

2. Open Trade Agreements: The conference established an "Open Door" policy, ensuring equal economic access for all countries in the international zone of Tangier.

These diplomatic efforts effectively ended the Agadir Crisis, defusing tensions between France and Germany and temporarily easing tensions in Europe before the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
