British Foreign Policy

April 2, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on foreign policy of Great Britain. The irony of fate has seldom been displayed on a more conspicuous scale than in the history of the Gladstone Cabinet during the last five years. They came into power on the express understanding that domestic legislation and social reform were to be the main aims of their policy; that in foreign affairs they were to reverse the unquiet and aggressive tendencies of their predecessors, to promote peace and harmony all over the world, to limit in all possible ways the liabilities and responsibilities of Great Britain. Nor were these the mere pretences of partisans anxious to displace their antagonists.
