The coming into being of the entente did not necessarily fix a permanent division into two opposing power blocs. The situation remained flexible. [21] Ewen W. Edwards, "The Far Eastern Agreements of 1907." Journal of Modern History 26.4 (1954): 340–55. online

In 1904, Britain and France signed a series of agreements, the Entente cordiale, mostly aimed toward resolving colonial disputes. That heralded the end of British splendid isolation. France and Britain had signed five separate agreements regarding spheres of influence in North Africa in 1904, the Entente cordiale. The Tangier Crisis later encouraged co-operation between the two countries from their mutual fear of apparent German expansionism. [13] Naval race with Germany [ edit ] At the start of World War I in 1914, all three Triple Entente members entered it as Allied Powers against the Central Powers: Ottoman Turkey, Germany and Austria-Hungary. [2] On September 4, 1914, the Triple Entente issued a declaration undertaking not to conclude a separate peace and only to demand terms of peace agreed between the three parties.

The Franco-Japanese Treaty of 1907 was a key part of building a coalition as France took the lead in creating alliances with Japan, Russia, and (informally) with Britain. Japan wanted to raise a loan in Paris, so France made the loan contingent on a Russo-Japanese agreement and a Japanese guarantee for France's strategically vulnerable possessions in Indochina. Britain encouraged the Russo-Japanese rapprochement. Thus was built the Triple Entente coalition that fought World War I. [1] Schmitt, Bernadotte E. (1924).

In the last decade of the nineteenth century, Britain continued its policy of " splendid isolation", with its primary focus on defending its massive overseas empire. However, by the early 1900s, the German threat had increased dramatically, and Britain thought it was in need of allies. London made overtures to Berlin which were not reciprocated, [ citation needed] so London turned to Paris and St. Petersburg instead.

You really felt sorry for the main character Eun Sian, she had a bad experience with men and she had a overprotective psycho mother from ensuring she kept away with all the men from the outside world. Yuri was her ex bf in school who traumatised her (not gonna say, keeping this spoiler free) and later dresses as a lolita to get her attention. He's a perfect example of an extreme Yandere because he literally was unpredictable and he has Eun Sians photos

EUROPE, 1940. NAZI FORCES SWEEP ACROSS THE CONTINENT, WITH A BRITISH INVASION LIKELY ONLY WEEKS AWAY. NEVER BEFORE HAS A RESISTANCE MOVEMENT BEEN SO CRUCIAL TO THE WAR EFFORT. However, the League faced great difficulty with the growing tensions between Russia and Austria-Hungary, mainly over the Balkans, where the rise of nationalism and the continued decline of the Ottoman Empire made many former Ottoman provinces struggle for independence. [6] To counter Russian and French interests in Europe, the Dual alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary was concluded in October 1879 and with Italy in May 1882. Next guy in this is blond asshole at first, Hyun Yujin. He comes into the scene mid way when Sian was looking for a job so that she can get away from her psycho mother and signs her up to work in his cafe (he's a manager at some kind). Reason why I call him a ass*like is because He didn't treat Sian well at first and he was basically a womanizer who had the girl staff go after Sian because y'know stupidity. This guy surprisingly grows as you get to know him and he starts to care a lot of Sian more than ever. Kronenbitter, Günther (August 15, 2019).
