Agadir Incident

International crisis provoked by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, July-November 1911. By sending the gunboat Panther to demand territorial concessions from the French, he hoped to drive a wedge into the Anglo-French entente. In fact, German aggression during the Second Moroccan Crisis merely served to reinforce Anglo-French fears of Germany's intentions. The crisis gave rise to the term ‘gunboat diplomacy’.
