Detailed explanation-1: -The First Moroccan Crisis also showed that the Entente Cordiale was strong, as Britain had defended France in the crisis. The crisis can be seen as a reason for the Anglo-Russian Entente and the Anglo-Franco-Spanish Pact of Cartagena being signed the following year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Morocco was one of the few areas of Africa that had not been colonised by a European country. As part of the 1904 deal between France and Britain (the Entente Cordiale), the British agreed to support France’s attempts to take over Morocco. Spain and Italy both said they had no objection to France’s plans.
Detailed explanation-3: -Entente Cordiale 1905 (the Tangier Incident, or First Moroccan Crisis), and thus upset the Entente, served only to strengthen it. Military discussions between the French and the British general staffs were soon initiated.
Detailed explanation-4: -A Second Moroccan Crisis flared in April 1911, when the French pushed troops into the country, claiming to be defending the sultan against riots that had erupted in Fez but actually violating the terms of the Algeciras convention.
Detailed explanation-5: -The crisis led Britain and France to conclude a secret naval agreement by which the Royal Navy promised to protect the northern coast of France from German Navy attack, while France concentrated her fleet in the western Mediterranean and agreed to defend British interests there.
