Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the relationship between Great Britain and Portugal in the context of the introduction of a constitutional charter for Portugal by British Ambassador Sir Charles Stuart in 1826. Upon analysis of documents from Parliament, the author finds that while Great Britain initially supported the establishment of the charter, their stance later shifted, leading to a complicated turn of events and highlighting the vacillation within British policy at the time. The issue of British 'non-interference' is also explored, with the author arguing that the term is a 'cheat' that has been twisted to suit political convenience. The book provides unique insight into international relations during this period, highlighting inconsistencies in British policy, the interplay between nations, and the far-reaching consequences that even the smallest of diplomatic actions can have.
