: In 1898 Britain and Germany
were negotiating an alliance against Russia
(
The Saturday Review
threatened that the
people would settle accounts with the dynasty
if it allied itself with Germany!!). No agree-
ment was reached: Britain said: âGermany
demands too muchâ (477). This, author claims,
is not true, Berlin made no demands (?!!?).
A treaty was concluded
only
in October
1898, and it â envisaged German and British
economic penetration into the Portuguese
colonies in the event of Portugal not fulfilling
her obligations in regard to loan paymentsâ
(477).
N.B.
gem!
In October 1898 Great Britain and Germany were
dividing
Portugalâs colonies.      B
