⇧ August 1911 August 2 ⇧ In the dispute between France and Germany over Morocco, 1 a clever turn of phrase by the President, Dr. Sylvester (Chamber of Deputies), was directed against the superior might of England: "The Mediterranean to those who live along it"! As fitting and great as the phrase is, all the greater still, sadly, is the powerlessness of Austria and Italy to realize its intentions. © Translation Ian Bent, 2019 |

Footnotes1 The rivalry between France and Germany at the beginning of the 20th century for influence in Morocco resulted in the First Moroccan Crisis of 1905–08 and then to the Second Morocco Crisis (or Agadir Crisis) of 1911, after the German emperor had ordered a gunship to the port of Agadir on July 1 following the French occupation of Fes and Rabat. The British became involved in the negotiations. A French‒German accord was forged on 4 November. Schenker's diary of August 9, 1914 makes a bellicose remark about the outcome. |
