French Relations
by Glyn Stone, Alan Sharp
Category: History

A collection of studies on the key episodes of the difficult and often discordant Anglo-French exchange in the 20th century. The authors critically reassess the central issues of the relationship using fresh evidence to re-evaluate: the effect of intervention in the Russian Civil War; the nature of the Anglo-French Entente during the Liberal administration of Asquith; the role of Spain in Anglo-French relations up to 1918; the missed opportunity of the 1920s with the failure of France and Britain to find sufficient common ground and co-operation; the short-lived Anglo-French alliance and the Second World War; the degree of Anglo-French Imperial co-operation; the Suez Crisis; and British and French policies on European Integration.
