Claim: Algeciras Conference, which took place in Algeciras, Spain in 1906, was attended by France after Roosevelt's persuasion and was anticipated by Germany as a way to weaken the Entente Cordiale.
Evidence: The Algeciras Conference of 1906 took place in Algeciras, Spain, and lasted from 16 January to 7 April. However, with the situation in June 1905 worsening to the point of war between Germany and France (and possibly Britain), in July Roosevelt persuaded the French to attend a January peace conference in Algeciras. Germany had hoped that the Conference would weaken the Entente Cordiale.
