summaryLong: The Algeciras Conference of 1906 took place in Algeciras, Spain, and lasted from 16 January to 7 April.

Germany was not trying to stop French expansion. Its goal was to enhance its own international prestige, and it failed badly. The result was a much closer relationship between France and Britain that strengthened the Entente Cordiale since both London and Paris were increasingly suspicious and distrustful of Berlin.
