History <br> Agadir<br> is almost silent on Agadir before the twelfth century. In the second century BC. AD, the historian Polybius refers to North Africa on the Atlantic, a Cape Rhysaddir, which could have been located near Agadir, its location is still under debate. The earliest attestation map found about Agadir appears on a map of 1325: the approximate location of the current city, indicating a place called Porto Mesegina, by name of a Berber tribe already mentioned in the twelfth century, Mesguina, that is to say ksim. In late medieval times, Agadir is a town of some notoriety, the very name, Agadir el-arba, is attested for the first time in 1510 [4]. In 1505, the Portuguese, already installed on the Moroccan coast, founded a trading post and fort at the foot of the hill facing the sea, Santa Cruz do Cabo de Aguer (Sainte Croix du Cap Ghir), location of the district today &#39; hui disappeared Founti, (named after the Portuguese word which means iron fountain). Soon, the Portuguese are exposed to hostile tribes of the region. Since 1530, they were stuck in Santa Cruz. Reflux begins when Portuguese March 12, 1541 Sheriff Saâdiens esh-Sheikh Mohammed captured the fortress of Santa Cruz de Aguer. Six hundred Portuguese survivors were taken prisoner, including the governor of Guterres Monroy and his daughter Dona Meci. The captives were ransomed by monks who have come from Portugal. Dona Meci, whose husband was killed during the battle, became the wife of Muhammad al-Sheikh, but died in childbirth in 1544. The same year, Muhammad al-Sheikh is the release of Governor Guterres Monroy, he befriended [5]. The Portuguese positions acquired between 1505 and 1520 are regressing. After the loss of Agadir, the Portuguese must abandon Safi and Azemmour. Morocco is beginning to be less important for Portugal, which is shifting towards India and Brazil. After 1550, the Portuguese do more in Morocco that Mazagan, now El Jadida, Tangiers and Ceuta. In 1572, the Casbah is built atop the hill by Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib, the successor of Mohammed Ech-Cheikh. Agadir N&#39;Ighir is now, literally, the granary of the fortified hill tachelhit [6]. In the seventeenth century under the dynasty of Berber Tazeroualt, Agadir is a road of some importance, developing trade with Europe. Then there are no real port, but a single pier, pier called Portuguese, who survived until the late twentieth century. From Agadir depart notably sugar, wax, copper, hides and skins [7]. The Europeans brought their manufactured goods, including weapons and tissues. Under the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail (1645-1727) and his successors, the trade with France, hitherto active partner, regress to the English and Dutchmen. The entrance to the CasbahEn 1731, a severe earthquake struck the city. In 1746 the Dutchman install a counter at the foot of the Casbah, under the authority of the Sultan, and probably involved in the restoration of the city. Above the entrance to the Casbah, one can still see the inscription hollandaise &quot;God Vreest ende den RESHT Kooning&quot; which means: &quot;Fear God and honor your king.&quot; After a long period of prosperity during the reigns Sa&#39;did and Alawite Agadir declines from 1760, because of the prominence given in the competing port of Essaouira, the Alawite sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah, who wants to punish the rebel Souss his authority. This decline lasted a century and a half. In 1789 a European traveler is a brief description of Agadir: &quot;It is now a deserted city, there is more than a few house falling into ruins.&quot; In 1881, Sultan Moulay Hassan reopen the road to trade in order to resupply shipments that envisaged in the south. These shipments destined to reassert his authority over the tribes of Souss and oppose the plans of the English and Spanish, were held in 1882 and 1886 [8]. <br-br>In 1884, Charles de Foucauld in recognition described in Morocco&#39;s rapid transition to Agadir from the east: &quot;I walk along the shore to Agadir Irir. The path passes below this city, halfway between her and Founti: Founti is a miserable hamlet, a few fishermen&#39;s huts; Agadir, despite his pregnant white gives it a city is, I am told a poor village depopulated and without trade [9]. &quot; In 1911, the dispatch of a German gunboat in the harbor caused the coup d&#39;Agadir, Agadir is suddenly appear on the world stage. Relying on a call with German companies in the valley of Souss, Germany decided on 1 July 1911 to protect its interests in Morocco and defend its claims on the country to send in the bay of Agadir , whose roads had been until 1881, closed to foreign trade, a gunboat, the Panther SMS quickly relayed by the cruiser Berlin. Very strong international reaction, particularly that of Great Britain, Germany surprise. The war threat. A Franco-German treaty was finally signed November 4, 1911, leaving a free hand to France, who will be able to establish a protectorate over Morocco. Only then will the gunboat Panther Berlin and the cruiser left the bay of Agadir. In 1913, the city (and Agadir N&#39;Ighir Founti) has less than a thousand inhabitants. On June 15, 1913 French troops landed in Agadir. After 1920, under the French protectorate, a port is constructed and the city enjoys a first flight. Around 1930, Agadir is an important step in the Aeropostale where Saint-Exupéry and Mermoz calling.
