  • The 1904 Anglo-French Newfoundland Fisheries Convention: Another Look
    RESEARCH NOTES/NOTES DE RECHERCHE The 1904 Anglo-French Newfoundland Fisheries Convention: Another Look THE EXISTING LITERATURE ON ANGLO-FRENCH RELATIONS at the turn of the century, as well as that which specifically addresses the 1904 entente cordiale, for the most part makes only passing mention of the Newfoundland fisheries issue. Understandably, the focus of these accounts tends to be on the changing relations between the great powers, and on the most important aspect of the entente itself, which was the definition of boundaries and spheres of influence in North and West Africa. The exceptions are P.J.V. Rolo's study of the entente, which does recognize the crucial place of the fisheries issue in the context of the overall negotiation, and F.F. Thompson's brief account of the Newfoundland settlement from a colonial perspective in his standard work on the French, or Treaty, Shore question. i This note expands these accounts of the evolution of the 1904 Anglo-French Fisheries Convention, reinforces the view that it was vital to the successful completion of the overall package, and looks at the aftermath. This is not the place to discuss in detail the reasons for Anglo-French rapprochement which culminated in the 1904 entente cordiale. At the risk of oversimplification, one can point to several key factors. The Fashoda incident (1898) demonstrated, in time, to many French politicians that there was no hope of ending the resented British occupation of Egypt and the Nile valley. Confrontation with Britain in Africa was clearly futile, and accommodation potentially advantageous. Increasingly, the parti colonial urged the French government to consider giving up its financial and economic influence in Egypt, recognizing British predominance there, in return for British acceptance of France's ambition to establish a protectorate over Morocco and concessions elsewhere.2 Once this reasoning had been accepted and advanced by the French government, the British government eventually proved willing to respond positively (if carefully).

  • The Alliance System Before 1900
    How and why did the Alliance System form? L/O – To understand the key features of the alliance system before 1914 Starter – How was the most powerful nation in Europe? Who was second? What is an Alliance? An alliance is an agreement between one or more states to work together. Alliances usually involve making promises to protect the other country against nations who are not in the alliance. These promises are usually made by the signing of treaties. Why were Alliances made? The aim of forming alliances was to achieve collective security – having alliances with other powerful countries deterred your enemies from attacking you. If a country started a war with one nation it would have to fight all its allies as well. Alliances were often made in reaction to national rivalries – when one country felt threatened by another, it often looked to secure friendships with other nations. By 1900, Europe was full of national rivalries. Why were alliances made? There were two main sources of national rivalries: The creation of Germany in 1871 out of the many smaller Germanic states had been opposed by France, resulting in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. The Germans invaded France and forced the French to sign a humiliating peace treaty. This meant that France and Germany hated each other. The Ottoman (Turkish) Empire in Eastern Europe was crumbling. Russia sought to take advantage of this to expand west into the Balkans. Austria-Hungary wanted to prevent Russian expansion. National Rivalries A dinner party The Rise of Germany • By 1900, the Great Powers in Europe were beginning to divide themselves into two separate groups.

Abstract This historiographical essay challenges the common historical narrative that Britain left 'splendid isolation' as a result of perceived German aggression - particularly considering Germany's battlefleet programme. Investigating closer Anglo-American ties, the Anglo-Japanese agreement and the Entente Cordiale show that Britain started to abandon an isolationist policy due to its vast, global and often burdensome empire before the German battlefleet started to present itself as a problem. Rather than pinning Britain's alliances at the turn of the twentieth-century on one factor in Europe, this essay investigates the impact the Americas, Africa, Central Asia and the Far East had on Britain's changing international position.

BOWMAN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Peter John Brobst Associate Professor of History Florenz Plassmann Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract BOWMAN, JAMES L., M.A., May 2020, History Anglo-French Relations in Syria: From Entente Cordiale to Sykes-Picot Director of Thesis: Peter John Brobst Though the Entente Cordiale of 8 April, 1904 addressed several outstanding imperial tensions between the British Empire and the French Third Republic, other imperial disputes remained unresolved in the lead-up to World War I. This thesis explores Anglo-French tensions in Ottoman Syria, from the signing of the Entente to the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement in 1916. Syria proved to be a cause of frictions that brought many buried Anglo-French resentments back to the surface and created new ones. Cultural, strategic, and economic interests were at stake, interests which weighed heavily upon the Entente powers and which could not easily be forgone for the sake of ‘cordiality’. This thesis presents evidence that unresolved Anglo-French tensions in Syria raised serious concerns among officials of both empires as to the larger future of their Entente, and that even after the Entente joined in war against their common enemies, such doubts persisted.

  • Life of Imperialism: Thailand, Territory and State Transformation
    Life of Imperialism: Thailand, territory and state transformation Abstract: The paper argues that in territorial disputes before international courts between states that were formerly under colonial rule and semicolonialism, respectively, international courts favour the former. I study two cases – semicolonial Siam in Cheek v Siam arbitration (1897) and postcolonial Thailand in the Temple of Preah Vihear case (1962) – in their historical context to prove this. The critique of formalism here operates on two levels. First, in actual disputes the production of colonial stationary – for example, maps, photographs, and communiqué as demonstrable proofs of evidence – benefits states formerly under colonial rule. Second, in the Temple of Preah Vihear case, the ICJ pits, as it were, the French colonial history in Cambodia against Siamese semicolonial past. Arguably, the Cheek v Siam episode demonstrates nineteenth century Siam’s successful attempts to deploy politico- legal strategy to remain politically independent. By contrast, the ICJ in the Temple case defeats Siamese conceptions of shared sovereignty to confirm the continuing hegemony of modern geography and colonial cartography. The Cheek and Temple cases, respectively, among other untribunalized arm- twisting episodes typify Siam’s tryst with both semicolonial and postcolonial international law. Siam offers both epistemological lessons on history, past, and knowledge production and the possibility of prefiguring postcolonial Asian imperialism. Table of Content I. Introduction II.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), December, 1971, 235 pp., bibliography, 161 titles. Early and recent interpretations of imperialism and long-range expansionist policies of Britain and France during the period of so-called "new imperialism" after 1870 are examined as factors in the causes of the Fashoda Crisis of 1898-1899. British, French, and German diplomatic docu- ments, memoirs, eye-witness accounts, journals, letters, newspaper and journal articles, and secondary works form the basis of the study. Anglo-French rivalry for overseas territories is traced from the Age of Discovery to the British occupation of Egypt in 1882, the event which, more than any other, triggered the opening up of Africa by Europeans. The British intention to build a railroad and an empire from Cairo to Capetown and the French dream of drawing a line of authority from the mouth of the Congo River to Djibouti, on the Red Sea, for Tied a huge cross of European imperialism over the African continent, The point of intersection was the mud-hut village of Fashoda on the left bank of the White Nile south of Khartoum. The.

  • Lessons from the History of the Entente Cordiale
    Russia's Relations with NATO: Lessons from the History of the Entente Cordiale Nikolai Sokov August 1998 PONARS Policy Memo 29 Center for Nonproliferation Studies As NATO contemplates the second wave of enlargement, many wonder what the Russian response might be. The experience of 1996-98 might suggest an optimistic scenario: the first wave was met with harsh words and threats, but the actual response was mild. Russia signed the Founding Act, largely on Western terms, and has entered a cooperative relationship with NATO. For Russia, historical memory reaches back further, and offers other precedents with less promising scenarios. The emergence of the Entente Cordiale, the Russo-French-British alliance against Germany in the late 19th century, is one such precedent. Patterns of behavior change slowly, rendering a century-old experience contemporary validity. Radical Words, Moderate Action With respect to both the 19th century German threat and the 20th century's NATO enlargement, Russia responded to what it saw as unfavorable external conditions with harsh rhetoric and calls for an immediate action to redress the situation. But in each case it also proved reluctant at first to take radical steps and disrupt the existing international order. In the 1880s, a wave of anti-German rhetoric engulfed Russia, even though the Alliance of Three Emperors bound Russia to Germany and Austria. A separate, 1879 alliance between Germany and Austria ensured that any conflict with Austria, which was competing with Russia in the Balkans, could bring about war with Germany. The intensity of anti-German sentiment suggested that Russia would break with Germany and enter an alliance with France.

  • Great Britain and France on the Way to the Entente Cordiale
    Great Britain and France on the Way to the Entente Cordiale Marcela šubrtová Although the Fashoda Crisis did not open a new era in the relations between the two countries, together with French Foreign Minister Théophile Delcassé’s timely withdrawal and his moderate attitude, it laid down the foundation for the following Anglo ‑French rapprochement.1 This rapprochement was crowned on April 8, 1904 with the successful signature of several conventions which later became known as the so ‑called Entente Cordiale.2 The way towards the agreement was neither straight‑ forward nor easy. The birth of the Anglo‑Egyptian condominium in Sudan together with the Anglo ‑French convention of March 1899 resolved the problematic question of the Upper Nile, but in spite of that there remained several colonial disputes be‑ tween both powers.3 The Fashoda Crisis proved that Great Britain would rather go to war than give up her position in Egypt.4 It was the humiliation in this crisis which moved Delcassé towards the active involvement in reviewing the priorities of French foreign policy. Towards strengthening the diplomatic links of France, Delcassé drew a political line which led to the reshaping of the Franco‑Russian alliance perception in 1899. He ini‑ tiated the French policy which aimed to break up the coalition between Italy and the Triple Alliance, and for this purpose he made use of the Italian economic crisis. This policy bore fruit in 1900 and in 1901 when France successfully ruptured the Triple Alliance by signing a pact with Italy.5 1 J.
