How were the views of France and the United Kingdom similar at the end of WW1?

History

Allushta [10]2 years ago

The war between Britain and France was virtually over. King Edward VII visited France in 1903 and won the hearts of the French people by speaking great French and acting graciously everywhere he went. He even gave a famous actress gallant compliments in her native tongue (this kind of thing goes a long way in France). The Anglo-French Entente was ratified in less than a year. The hatred of Edward by Kaiser Wilhelm was another cause (who was his uncle). In truth, the English had already proposed an equivalent entente to Germany in 1899 and 1901, but the Germans had rejected it because they thought it was a ruse. At a dinner with 300 guests in Berlin, the Kaiser made a public statement "He is the devil! You simply cannot comprehend what a Satan he is!" He was irate that he couldn't intimidate or win Edward over, envious of his fame, and worried about what he thought were English designs to "encircle" Germany. But it was for the Belgians, not the French, that Britain allied with France in World War I. Britain had committed to defend Belgium in return for its Continent-wide neutrality. The British intervened to defend them when Germany invaded Belgium without cause (Belgium had done nothing to deserve it) and started massacring civilians.

It is a common misconception that the Emancipation Proclamation freed all of the slaves. What did it actually do?
GarryVolchara [31]
Despite that expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.

Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war for freedom. Moreover, the proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union army and navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.
