    The entente cordial was relevant,but not in a way that you’d like.
    It was a major contributor to both world wars and without it we would have less likely to have war with Germany.
    This isn’t my opinion but information that historians have told me.

    In what way did it contribute?

    Because without it we would have probably have not been at war with Germany and may possibly have joined the Germans against the French.
    Edward vii has a lot to answer for.

    That’s an interesting dynamic, if we would have sided with the Germans what would the Second World War looked like? As I have read it the majority of benefit of Entente Cordiale was the agreement around who controlled what in Africa and other colonies. This was before the joining of the three way relationship with France and Russia which appears to be more influential for the First World War. I could find no references at all to a correlation between the Entente Cordiale and this having an impact for the Second World War.

    Maybe you should google a bit harder,as I said,not my opinion but an academic theory.
    There wouldn’t have been a Second World War,Hitler wouldn’t have had the opportunity.

    Glad you're safe, @BonnieCat but I'm sorry to see the rioting in your country. What a mess is happening 'round the globe.

    Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, France, all these movements seems to be more on the politic/ideology side than directly related to covid.
    Covid is a kind of pretext for those movements. Sad.

    Agree. These movements have been hijacked by political extremists, same with BLM.

    Who was the academic who came up with the theory?

    Sanofi made an agreement with BionTech .. hurra!! Wait a minute..
    The agreement is not about producing the vaccine, but to bottle it.. starting in July..
    Well, nothing really changed.

    Arn't you speaking about the WW1 Surrender Terms, that lead to the unrest in Germany.
     
  15. Tom Gillam

    Tom Gillam Guest

    No I’m not speaking about that,I’ve merely repeated something about a discussion about the entente cordiale which I heard elsewhere,it’s a theory or conjecture,similar to listening to some parts of the BBC news.

    So, last night it was "It was a major contributor to both world wars and without it we would have less likely to have war with Germany."
    And today "it’s a theory or conjecture"

    Interesting shift in significance......

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to”prove” but it appears to be childish political point scoring.
    IF we hadn’t had the Entente Cordiale it would have been less likely that we would have had a war with Germany and without that war the second war wouldn’t have happened in the way that it did.It’s a theory,so what’s your problem?
    It didn’t happen that way,that’s history,you can’t knock a statue over and try and change it but some people, (perhaps not yourself),do discuss the “what if” possibilities whether you agree or not.
