In the late nineteenth century Britain kept out of foreign politics as much as possible. Europe was divided into two camps: France and Russia in one, Germany, Austria and Italy in the other.【T1】
Britain favored the second group so long as France threatened her interests in Africa and the Russians threatened her Indian border.
But Germany was growing too strong. The various German states had been united under the King of Prussia after his conquest of France in 1870. He was now Emperor of all Germany.【T2】
He was Queen Victoria’s son-in-law, but his ambitions took no account of such a tie.
Britain watched him with growing mistrust.
The Germans already had the best army in Europe.【T3】
By 1901, when Victoria died, they had begun to build a very large navy, which was not needed to protect their trade.
It could only have one purpose, to fight its British rival. Edward VII had never shared his mother’s faith in the Emperor’s goodwill, and Britain now openly made friends with France.【T4】
She would not make a defence treaty, but she showed that her sympathy would be with the French if the Germans attacked them.
Plans were made for an army of 150, 000 men which would be ready to cross the Channel at a moment’s notice.【T5】
When war came in 1914, this force managed to arrive just in time to save Paris.
(From The World at War)
【T3】
