| Abstract: | When the Second Empire fell, the French had already been established in Algeria for 40 years. Ten years later, they established a protectorate over the Regency of Tunis. The momentum of European penetration increased as the 20th century approached. After the conquest of the Algerian Sahara, the French decided to establish a protectorate over Morocco, while the Italians cast their mantle over Tripolitania. The 1904 agreements between France, England and Spain appeared to seal the fate of the Sharifian empire. The intervention of Germany and the start of another international crisis merely delayed by a few years a French conquest that had become inevitable.
