Abstract
This book deals with the Anglo-French relations from 1898 to 1904, analyzing the key factors and the key personalities who contributed to the signature of the Entente cordiale. There were three main documents which made the basis of the Entente: colonial Convention respecting the Newfoundland, Central and West Africa, Declaration respecting Siam, Madagascar and New Hebrides and last but not least, the Declaration respecting Morocco and Egypt.
This last document was the core of the whole entente, which finally resulted in removing the tensions between both Powers and contributed to their later cooperation, which inaugurated the formation of two blocks that later on clashed in the First World War.
