Sir Edward Grey and the Concert of Europe: A Final Attempt to Save Europe from War
Get PDFIn July of 1914, Europe fell into a conflict that resulted in the onslaught of the First World War. British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward called the Great Powers of Europe together in an attempt to de-escalate the tensions.
