Germany Breaks Off Moroccan Crisis Negotiations

When looking back at the events as they took place 100 years ago, it is often that very similar events, in the exact same locations, are taking place 100 years later. One interesting example is of civil unrest in England. Riots against shop owners and labor strikes, provoked police to use force to overcome the violence. One hundred years later, the same headlines are seen in newspapers around the world, and the English Prime Minister is again anguished, whether it be Asquith or Cameron.

One hundred years ago, Germany actually cited the unrest in Great Britain as a reason for breaking off negotiations in the Moroccan Crisis. This would also begin a period of a more belligerent stance and warlike posturing by Germany.
