  First Moroccan Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Moroccan Crisis (also known as the Tangier Crisis) refers to the international crisis brought about by the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Tangier in Morocco on March 31, 1905.
The crisis peaked in mid-June, when Delcassé was forced out of the ministry by the more conciliation minded premier Maurice Rouvier.
Although the Algeciras Conference temporarily solved the First Moroccan Crisis, continuing German dissatisfaction with the Moroccan situation led to the Second Moroccan Crisis in 1911 and a worsening of the international tensions that ultimately led to World War I (1914 - 1918).

 Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg - Wikipedia
In foreign policy, Bethmann pursued a policy of detente with Britain, hoping to come to some agreement that would put a halt to their ruinous naval arms race, but failed, largely due to the opposition of German Naval Minister Alfred von Tirpitz.
Despite the increase in tensions due to the Second Moroccan Crisis of 1911, Bethmann did improve relations with England to some extent, working with British foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey to alleviate tensions during the Balkan Crises of 1912-1913, and negotiating treaties over an eventual partition of the Portuguese colonies and the Berlin-Baghdad railway.
In domestic politics, Bethmann's record was also mixed, and his policy of the "diagonal", which endeavoured to maneuver between the Socialists and Liberals of the left and the right-wing nationalists of the right, only succeeded in alienating most of the German political establishment.
