| Résumé anglais |
Since the fourteenth century Britons regarded themselves as Anglo-Saxon people. British historians consistently encouraged this belief in the nineteenth century, which was reinforced by scientific and pseudo-scientific interest in racism. In consequence, Britons were dismayed to find themselves at war in 1914 with their Anglo-Saxon cousins in Germany and allies with the leading Latin and Slav powers. Their determination to avoid a repetition of this situation led to the appeasement of Germany, which continued until at least 1939. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
