PLEASE HELP ASAP ILL REWARD
and then answer the question that follows.
Source A: From a letter sent by a senior official at the German Foreign Ministry,
1 July 1911.
At twelve o'clock today, we will announce the arrival of the gunboat, Panther, at
the port of Agadir in Morocco. To justify this, we have already encouraged
German businessmen in Morocco to send us complaints about their treatment.
We have chosen Agadir because it leads to the valley of the river Sus, the richest
mining and agricultural area in southern Morocco. We plan to take and keep this
district to settle.
Source B: From a letter written by a senior official at the British Foreign Office,
5 July 1911.
The German plan in Morocco was carefully thought out. As usual with the
Germans, it was launched suddenly. The Germans have since claimed that
sending a warship to Agadir was to protect their businessmen until Morocco was
calm again. However, I believe that after the visit of the Kaiser to Britain in 1907,
he was convinced that the British attitude towards Germany had improved. He
now believes that Germany can succeed in splitting Britain from France.
How far does Source A support the evidence of Source B about Germany's
actions at the start of the Second Moroccan Crisis (1911)?
Explain your answer.
