British Documents on the Origins of the War 1898-1914, Vol. II - The Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the Franco-British Entente is a comprehensive collection of primary source documents detailing the critical diplomatic shifts of the British Empire at the turn of the 20th century. Edited by historians G. P. Gooch and Harold Temperley, this volume provides a meticulous record of the official correspondence and internal memoranda that shaped global geopolitics in the years leading up to the Great War.

The work focuses on two foundational pillars of early 20th-century international relations: the 1902 treaty with Japan and the 1904 agreements with France. Through these documents, readers gain an unfiltered look into the strategic calculations that led Britain to move away from its policy of splendid isolation. The collection covers the resolution of long-standing colonial disputes and the formation of the Entente Cordiale, a pivotal alignment that altered the European balance of power. This volume is an essential resource for students of history and political science, offering a direct window into the complex web of treaties, secret negotiations, and statecraft that defined the pre-war era.
