A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Germany. Some day, perhaps, when knowledge has grown, and diplomatic archives are available, the story of our relations with Germany, for the past twenty or thirty years, will be told by the historical section of theL eague of Nations. But meanwhile, in order to appreciate the views which Mr. Lloyd George held and expressed between 1906 and 1914, it is necessary to summarise with such information as is available, and sometimes with almost stenographic shortness, some phases of those relations which culminated in the outbreak of war in August of 1914. While it is difficult to fix a precise date which shows the beginning of a new tendency, or of a definite change of policy, nevertheless, it really does seem that on the retirement of Bismarck on March 20, 1890, an epoch came to an end; that from that date, the friendship between Germany and oiu selves steadily cooled, and that a new era of foreign politics in Eiu-ope had begun. From the date of the Congress of Berlin up to 1890, though between those dates Treitschke was preaching that Great Britain was the enemy, there was little serious friction between the two Empires. Both British foreign policy and public interest were concentrated on the Afghan frontier, and on the maintenance of our Colonial Empire against Russia andF rance; and in 1890 Lord Sahsbury, a firm friend of the Triple AU iance, had no difficulty in ceding HeU goland, and selling a strip of theE astA frican coast, toG ermany, in exchange forZ anzibar, Uganda, and an agreed frontier toN orthern East A frica.
