Perdicaris affair
The Perdicaris affair (a.k.a. Perdicaris incident) refers to the kidnapping of Greek-American playboy Ion "Jon"[1] Hanford Perdicaris (1840–1925) and his stepson, Cromwell Varley, a British subject, by Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli and his bandits on 18 May 1904 in Tangier, Morocco. Raisuli, leader of several hill tribes, demanded a ransom of $70,000, safe conduct, and control of two of Morocco's wealthiest districts from Sultan Abdelaziz of Morocco. During lengthy negotiations, he increased his demands to control of six districts.
