Britain’s attitude to Spanish ambitions in northern Morocco (1859–1862)

During the nineteenth century, Great Britain became the most politically and economically advanced country in the world. While in its foreign policy, Britain paid due attention to how it dealt with powerful countries such as France and the United States of America, at the same time it gave particular importance to countries going through political and economic crises which were not devoid of strategic or economic advantage, as was the case in Iran, Afghanistan, the Ottoman Empire and Morocco.
