Agadir Incident

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

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’.
