First Moroccan Crisisとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The First Moroccan Crisis (also known as the Tangier Crisis) was the international crisis over the international status of Morocco between March 1905 and May 1906. Germany resented France's increasing dominance of Morocco, and insisted on an open door policy. In March 1905 the German Kaiser went to Tangier and made a speech in favor of Moroccan independence. Isolated diplomatically, Germany called on U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt to mediate. An international conference met and decided to establish international control over the police forces in the major ports of Morocco, a compromise solution that ended the crisis.
