P. Grupp — ~~Eugène Etienne and the Attempt at a French-German Rapprochement in 1907.~~ At first sight Eugène Etienne's 1907 visit to Kiel and Berlin and the attempt he made towards a French-German rapprochement, if not a downright alliance for colonial matters may seem surprising. There is, however, a precedent in his career, when, in 1904, he changed his former hostility towards Britain to become a partisan of Entente Cordiale. This new attitude was motivated by his Moroccan policy and willingness to let Britain have her may in Egypt in exchange for letting France have hers in Morocco. Supported by French business circles, Eugene Etienne hoped to strike a similar bargain with Kaiser Wilhelm II. His hopes failed and his German journey was, finally, a faux-pas.
