The currect orthodoxy asserts that the rise of an aggressive and powerful Germany forced Britain--a declining power--to abandon her traditional policy of avoiding alliances and to enter into alliance with Japan (1902), France (1904), and Russia (1907) in order to contain the German menace. In a controversial rejection of this theory, Keith Neilson argues that Britain was the pre-eminent world power in 1914 and that Russia, not Germany, was the principal long-term threat to Britain's global position. This original and important study shows that only by examining Anglo-Russian relations and eliminating an undue emphasis on Anglo-German affairs can an accurate picture of Britain's foreign and defense policy before 1914 be gained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667297632544,"sku":"NEW0198204701","price":242.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71JxGBI5zfL.jpg?v=1778964237","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/britain-and-the-last-tsar-british-policy-and-russia-1894-1917-0198204701","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
