England and the Near East, 1896-1898Based primarily on the British Foreign Office archives, this study offers a detailed account of the evolution of British interests and policy in the Near East under Lord Salisbury's last administration at the close of the nineteenth century and of the significance of these developments to England's international position. British policy in Egypt, Turkey, and the Balkans is examined against the wider background of colonial rivalry and the changing pattern of England's relations with the continental powers following the advent of the Franco-Russian alliance. |
