colonial powers of France, Spain, Britain and Holland had to pass the Atlantic

Ocean to reach South and West Africa.

Once again, Britain wasn't ready to accept the situation. To the leaders of
the British deep state, the lands that had to be under British control were con-

trolled by a Muslim empire. Due to their deep-seated hostility towards Islam

and the Turks, this wasn't something they could accept. As a result, over the
th
course of the 18 century, the British deep state severed Muslim lands in Africa
from the Ottoman Empire, one by one, and it used usual tactics and provoca-

tion methods in the process.

Morocco
The relations of the British deep state with Morocco started in the 16th

century. Just as with the Ottoman Empire, Queen Elizabeth I of England man-
aged to get trading privileges from the Moroccan Emperor and started trade

in the region on behalf of England. The English Barbary Company, with the
charter granted by the Queen, purchased a part of the annual Moroccan sug-

ar produce in exchange for English weapon and cloth. It must be remembered
that the Turkey Company operated in a similar fashion and conducted busi-

ness with the Ottomans for 300 years as a privileged monopoly.

cidents in Morocco, in 1906 and 1911, known as the Moroccan Crises. Using
the power struggle in the country as a pretense, France deployed its troops to
the country. Germany didn't want to be left out and sent its navy to the region.

As a result, Germany and the British-France alliance came close to war twice.

These two crises are usually seen as substantial contributing factors to WWI.
