About This Book

A historical study traces the diplomatic courting, alliance, and eventual rupture between the French emperor and the Russian tsar, analyzing how wartime necessities, personal rapprochements, competing interests in Ottoman territories, and shifting court influences shaped their relations. It reconstructs the overtures and negotiations, the influence of earlier rulers and ministers, the strategic aim of securing continental obedience to isolate Britain, and the gradual erosion of trust as national aims and rivalries reasserted themselves. The work follows major episodes of negotiation and Eastern policy debates and shows how the collapsing entente reopened European coalitions that led to renewed large-scale conflict.
