ABSTRACT
The facts of Anglo-French relations prove that the Entente Cordiale is the result of a realization of common interests, when the statesmen of the two nations concluded that the prosperity and increasing power of Germany were more to be feared by both Great Britain and France than the prosperity and power of each were to be feared by the other. It was logical, that the agreement that sealed the Entente Cordiale should be based upon a sweeping compromise regarding Egypt and Morocco, a compromise of a nature to assure public opinion in both countries that there was a genuine quid pro quo. The three documents embodying the agreement between Great Britain and France, in which Egypt and Morocco were the principal pawns, were published in Paris. France recognized Great Britain's predominant position in Egypt and promised not to raise again the question of the temporary character of the British occupation.
