Abstract
The Franco-Russian entente of the early 1890s and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy) should have guaranteed peace. Both favoured the status quo. Italy retained a good relationship with the United Kingdom and with Spain, who looked positively upon this as a means of debilitating France. The French would have become isolated if Lord Salisbury's government had finally chosen to join the Triple Alliance in order to resist French pretensions in Egypt, since this would have brought a regrouping of the European powers. There were other possible combinations, too, including an alliance between the United Kingdom and Russia, against France, or an Anglo-French rapprochement through an agreement about disputed colonial territories. This occurred during the Cuban war of independence, as a result of apprehensions about the interference of the United States.

Summary
El 8 de mayo el gobierno de Francesco Crispí convocó elecciones. Se celebraron el 26 de ese mes. El comentario de duque de Tetuán a Maffei y a Drummond Wolff sobre los logros de Mombel y la información del embajador inglés sobre la oferta francesa al gobierno marroquí, Maffei-Blanc, 22 septiembre, ib. Alentado por algunas potencias europeas, el Sultán quería transformar en soberanía la influencia religiosa que ejercía en el Tuat, una región de indudable valor estratégico, comercial y político, del que Francia tenía derecho a beneficiarse. Sin discutir sobre ese punto, el proyecto de respuesta afirmaba que la región de Tuat, Guerara y Tidikelt pertenecía desde hacía mucho tiempo a Marruecos. Nicholson creía que debía informarse de la nota a los representantes de las demás potencias, pero no estaba autorizado Torres para hacerlo. Aplazada una decisión debido a que las tribus se habían preparado para la defensa, pero convencida la opinión francesa de sus derechos, todos daban por conquistado el Tuat. Lo necesitaba Francia si quería abrir una vía al Sahara y al Senegal desde Argelia[25]
