Book Description

Excerpt from The Diplomatic Reminiscences of Lord Augustus Loftus, 1837-1862, Vol. 2 of 2 The confidential mission of Lord Cowley to Vienna was also viewed as a probable prelude to a future alliance between England and Austria, and in con junction later with the mission of the Archduke Albert to Berlin, may have been construed into the probability of a Triple Alliance, in which case a general European war would have been inevitable. The Russian proposal of a Congress may also have been made at the instigation of France in order to gain time for completing her armaments.
