Excerpt from Modern Europe, 1789-1914 The last two chapters, dealing, as they do, with diplo matic history since the Treaty of Berlin, are outlines only. So many of the events which have occurred since that date are still shrouded in mystery that it would have been dangerous for me to have attempted more. There is so much that we do not know - the inner history of the F ranco Russian Alliance, the degree and extent to which German diplomacy was responsible for the greco-turkish War, the real origins of the Balkan League. Much secret history has been revealed since August 1914, but the whole truth about these, and many other matters, is hardly likely to be known to our generation. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to my friend, Mr. A. E. Zimmern, who has read the whole work in manu script, and to Lieut. Cyril Burton, who gave me many valuable suggestions for the first book. Their kindness has been of the greatest possible assistance to me. I cannot forbear also to express my gratitude for the 'sympathetic encouragement I have received from my publishers.
