A crisis in this country in 1904 nearly led to war?

The Moroccan (Morocco) crisis. In 1904 Morocco had been given to France by Britain, but the Moroccans wanted their independence. In 1905, Germany announced her support for Moroccan independence. War was narrowly avoided by a conference which allowed France to retain possession of Morocco. However, in 1911, the Germans were again protesting against French possession of Morocco. Britain supported France and Germany was persuaded to back down for part of French Congo. (the following was used fromhttp://www.historyonthenet.com/WW1/causes.htm )
