Editor's Notes
A cartoon apparently expressing a rather sour German point of view on the British-French " Entente Cordiale " of 1904 -- John Bull walks off with the trollop France (in her scandalously short tricolor skirt, while Germany pretends not to care. (notice the sword scabard peeking out from under Germany’s trenchcoat – implying that they are willing to use military aggression?) The Entente Cordiale agreement was a change for both countries. France had been isolated from the other European powers, mostly as a result of the efforts of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to estrange France from potential allies, as it was thought that France might possibly seek revenge for its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. The United Kingdom had maintained a policy of " splendid isolation " on the European continent for nearly a century, intervening in continental affairs only when it was considered necessary to protect British interests and to maintain the continental balance of power . The situation for both countries changed in the last decade of the nineteenth century .
