Answer:
The First Moroccan Crisis (which is also known as the ‘Tangier Crisis’) was an important conflict that took place from March 1905 until May of 1906 and led to increased tensions between the European powers of France and Germany. In fact, the two European nations disagreed over the status of the African nation of Morocco and who should have influence over the region. Historians consider the events of the First Moroccan Crisis (and later Second Moroccan Crisis) as significant causes of World War I, because they increased the tensions between the European powers before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.
