Description
King Edward VII and Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey played a pivotal role in shaping the course of European history. In 1904, the King concluded a treaty with France, followed by a similar agreement with Russia in 1907. These treaties, backed by Sir Edward Grey, formed the foundation of the Triple Entente, a powerful alliance that would eventually take the field against the Central Powers in 1914.
