In 1911, Frances influence in Morocco was growing, but Germany wanted a better share in economic potential Morocco had to offer. Therefore, when the Moroccans rebelled against their Sultan, Germany made a speech in which he said he would support the Sultan. Kaiser Wilhelm II also sent a gunboat called the Panther to Morocco. This was seen as a deliberate challenge to France s plan to control Morocco, which had been agreed by Britain according to the terms of the Entente Cordiale. The crisis escalated as the powers reacted to events France and Britain were angry at the Kaiser s interference, and, in 1906 challenged him at the Algeciras Conference. At the conference the Kaiser was forced to back down. He felt humiliated, isolated and bitter because of a perceived threat from the strengthening Entente Cordiale. Events in Morocco became an international crisis because the Kaiser was made a speech which promised to support the Sultan of Morocco. This German interference in Moroccan affairs angered France. Germany also sent a gunboat to Morocco.
