The Great War in History
A Missed Opportunity
Key decision-makers on both sides of the Channel agreed that an alliance between Britain and France in the aftermath of the First World War would represent a major step towards securing their hard-won victory and achieving European stability. Yet negotiations during and after the 1919 Paris Peace Conference failed to conclude terms satisfactory to both states. This paper investigates British attitudes towards a possible pact with France, concentr…
From Caxton Hall to Genoa via Fontainebleau and Cannes
Only David Lloyd George of the Big Four survived to play a major role in early post-war diplomacy, remaining as British premier until October 1922. This analysis assesses the development of his ideas and policies with particular reference to his war aims speech of 5 January 1918, his Peace Conference Fontainebleau Memorandum of 25 March 1919, and the paper handed to the French premier, Aristide Briand, at Cannes on 4 January 1922.

The Versailles Settlement
The Paris Peace Conference
The exasperated academic’s suggestion that ‘ad hoc ad nauseam’ should be the motto adopted by his university could be equally applied to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. ‘No matter how hard you try, you cannot imagine the shambles, the chaos, the incoherence, the ignorance here. Nobody knows anything because everything is happening behind the scenes,’ wrote Paul Cambon, the veteran French diplomat, voicing the feelings of many other frustrated…
The Enforcement of the Treaty of Versailles, 1919–1923
This paper uses the episode of the Kapp putsch in March 1920 to isolate and analyze a number of high policy themes that dominated the period from the signature of the Treaty of Versailles through to the Franco-Belgian invasion of the Ruhr. These included: the questions of what mechanisms existed to enforce the treaty; the sanctions available to the victorious governments to enforce their will; the position and problems of the German government; t…
The Versailles Settlement
The settlement at the end of the First World War has received a more sympathetic approach from historians in the last thirty years, particularly since the opening of the British and French archives
Adapting to a New World? British Foreign Policy in the 1920s
After the First World War the Foreign Office was faced with revolutionary changes following the collapse of four great empires, the reappearance of ideology as a significant factor in foreign policy, the birth of new states and new methods of conducting international relations. It also faced internal criticism about its role and effectiveness, relying on Lord Curzon, as Foreign Secretary, to defend it from rivals ranging from 10 Downing Street to…

Anglo-French Relations in the Twentieth Century
Anglo-French Relations in the Twentieth Century is a collection of studies on the key episodes of the difficult and often discordant Anglo-French exchange over the past century. The authors critically re-evaluate: * the role of Spain in Anglo-French relations up to 1918 * the missed opportunity of the 1920s with the failure of France and Britain to find sufficient common ground and co-operation * the short-lived Anglo-French alliance and the Seco…
