In 1904 Britain and France signed the Entente Cordiale—a series of agreements that defined their respective spheres of influence, in particular recognizing British control of Egypt and French primacy in Morocco. In an attempt to undermine this understanding, the German Kaiser decided to openly support the Sultan of Morocco against the French, but, when most of the other powers sided with France, he was forced to back down. As a compromise solution, the Algeciras Conference was called, affirming both Moroccan independence and French influence in Morocco.
