Competition for colonies brought France and Germany to the brink of war in Morocco.
The example of the issues that commenced to the explosion of the First World War in 1914 is The "First Moroccan Crisis". This incident happened in 1905 when strategic relationships among Germany and France declined as a consequence of the representative of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany to Morocco. He insisted he had appeared to promote the supremacy of Sultan Abdelaziz of Morocco. This was practiced as a primary provocation by the French, as the Sultan would repudiate French intended administrative reformations.
