1911Agadir CrisisGerman gunboat diplomacy inflames Franco-German rivalry over MoroccoGermany sent the gunboat Panther to the Moroccan port of Agadir on 1 July 1911 to challenge French control over Morocco.

The crisis was resolved by a November 1911 accord giving France a protectorate over Morocco in exchange for territory in the French Congo.
