Anglo-Russian Agreement 1907

The THIRD stage of how the triple entente was formed...

The Anglo-Russian Agreement 1907

·        Russia and Britain had supported France at Algericas.

·        It was in the interest of France to improve the relationship between Russia and Britain.

·        France influenced Russia and Britain to become more friendlier with each other – and in 1907 the Anglo-Russian agreement was signed.

·        In this agreement, Britain and Russia also sorted out their foreign problems in Persia and Tibet.

·        This finished off the triple entente. - The set of three circles on the right

 

 

·        However, the Kaiser felt like he had been encircled.

·        Even though the triple entente had not been designed to surround Germany, and the alliances between Britain Russia and France were not military alliances, Germany felt they had been surrounded.

 

The last arrow should have the date 1894 on it - thats when Russia and France made their alliance after two years of negotiation!
