January 12, 1918. The world is at war. In Washington, British Ambassador to the United States, Sir Cell Spring Rice, writes a letter to former US Secretary of State William Jengings Bryan. In his post, Brothers had worked tirelessly to keep the United States away from war and cut the sword with spring rice. But the ambassador talks about the brothers and the United States in general. “Something is completely sure: In any other country, an Englishman cannot create such a friendship.
It covers a poem that wrote “as a kind of spontaneous spill”. The first line is that “I swear by you, I am all the earthly things above”.
I had no idea that one of our nation’s favorite anthems began to live as part of US and British diplomacy until I was sent to me in a diplomatic book. My grandfather had bought the book. Maybe because of his loyalty – Bahar’s rice was his wife – not interest: the book was not read, and many pages have not been cut off. By reading a pair of shoes, he was taken back to a world that was gone – and he is still familiar with a strange way.
The poem, which was closed by Sir Ceals Spring Rice in a letter to former US Secretary of State William Jengings, in 1918, which later became my anthem, I swear to you, my country – Molland
The rice rice ties with the United States were strong. He was the best man for Theodore Roosevelt, who called him the “spring” and was the father of God for his son Race’s son. Roosevelt helped offer the American elite a spring rice.
In 1915, he stayed with JP Morgan – Lynchpine, in providing the UK War efforts – when a German killer broke, shot and wounded the banker. “I had no part of the battle except trying to take the gun out of the killer’s hand.
However, while the ambassador found that his friendship with Roosevelt—then he became a responsibility in the political cold. A democrat named Woodro Wilson was at the White House and decided to remove the United States from the European war. The concept of “special relationship” did not exist, but the feeling that the United States should be “our side” was strong in Britain. Espering Rice saves him to London constantly reminds the foreign minister that this view is wrong:
“We mistakenly think, because they speak our language, they are an angelsacon people. In fact, they are foreign nations, or rather a few foreign nations. None of these nations are especially friendly for us. People, but we treat nations very well, but by the people, but as if they are treated very well, but by a large people, but we treat them very well, but because they are very good, but because they are very good, but because they are very good. Foreign English foreigners, some of whom have the most homosexuals and speak.”
“We have been proud of our great persecution so long and only when we left that we found that it was impossible to protect it… So we have to find it easy to put ourselves in this country and I hope we try to do that.
Spring Rice’s explanations about the US neutrality today are a familiar blow. First of all, “We create war and they make money,” Rice Spring wrote. “There is a common feeling that whatever happens, the United States must move away from the war, and, while it continues, it will earn a lot of money as much as possible.
“If the United States wants to sell it, they must make it easier for sale; if they don’t facilitate sales, they cannot sell it.
But the development of US welfare was created by a nation that “a completely different and different part of it, which does not speak the same language, or think the same thoughts. “About 13,000,000 Americans speak a foreign language and look at the old people of this country because the Puritans at best considered it a higher happiness.
The United States is divided. The United States has put its interests first of all. And the United States, led by a populist president – whose modesty was completely dictatorial, was the people’s opinion. “It was not a question of what the right thing to do from the abstract view of the abstract view, as it was done, from the perspective of most of his work,” Mantra told Spring Rice.
Former US President Woodro Wilson was known for his unpredictable decisions and had an ‘autocracy’ path to govern his cabinet – the Congressional Library
Wilson’s discourses were “cryptic”. The decision-making process was vague and unpredictable: “We the White House is more viewed as a Vizovis in Napoli; as an unexpected secret source. Wilson “by brought no individual to his lawyer,” but he led an “autocratic” government, treated his cabinet members, just as he was under the rule of the Tudor in England.
As for foreign policy, Wilson had an iron arrest. “The real trade of foreign policy is only treated by the president.” He used “secret foreigners, who have passed the long-term successor through the White House. There is also one after another, who are thrown away one after another.
With the US economic growth and its population division, Wilson’s foreign policy aimed to keep the United States away from the European war and mediate peace. “I’m sure we’ll make a mistake if we take into account the active US intervention as one of the advocates of global peace. Every reference to the opposite direction refers to the opposite direction,” Rice Spring wrote in July 1916.
His army was “complete”, “all with men, transportation or explosives were not provided to a very large force. The ambassador has repeatedly reminded London of how German society is properly organized and puts pressure on Wilson to restrict financial and export to allied – “the Federal Bank’s request to disappoint in investing in the British Treasury Bill. As the 1916 presidential election approached, Wilson “provided Germany’s political policy is not so dangerous as a supportive policy.
Spring rice predicts that if the United States enters the war, it must be “a US war in defending US interests. In 1917, these interests began to threaten. Germany’s attacks on neutral sailors have begun disrupting US exports. The release of a secret German cable to the Mexican government, which proposes a German/Mexico coalition against the United States, is angry. But like Bahar Rice, just a month before the United States declared a war against Germany in April 1917, US policy was “a part of support but anti-British, and that’s a support because it is anti-German.
When he was at war, Wilson’s view of “peace was without victory… victory meant peace that would be forced on the loser”. They initially proposed a peace and spring cycle of Rice and told Wilson, “How consciously we were that the US president should play now. Wilson “the fact that he admitted that he regretted it. The United States was the Titan of the New World – but it was hesitant.
In his last meeting with Wilson, Spring rice said how the horror and sacrifice of war may bring together their two nations. “We can be close to endure all the terrible struggles of this terrible struggle if they eventually lead to a close, secure and permanent understanding among the English-speaking peoples.
Of course, our world is different in many ways for the world in which spring rice lives. So what light, if there is, can he pour his experiences and comments on today’s turbulent policy? Maybe two things.
The first is that as it is now, the US president had put US interests first. “We have no permanent allies, and we have no permanent enemies. Our interests are permanent, and it is our duty to follow,” Palmerston said. This is obviously a depth of restlessness – a cold rain, we are awake from the sewage of Europe in 1945, it breaks our hypothesis that only because the United States has troops on the continent and is a NATO member, if we attack us. So the United States may simply return to typing. Apart from that this is a new world, we may go back to the old world.
But it is certainly an inevitable conclusion: When US interests are threatened or attacked, it works to defend – as in 1917, and again in 1941. This may be simply in economic interests. Or perhaps action, when it comes, shows that we are linked to something deeper than only material improvement. Spring Rice wrote to Roosevelt that he believed the Americans and the British shared:
Lord Bridges between 1912 and 1918, in the letters of Spring Spring rice, British Ambassador to the United States,
“Wherever we stop, this point is for us where we owe all our loyalty, loyalty to our homes, not to a foreign force, whether for our competition or another. They have between the will between them or between them.
Read this now:
“The descendants of the people who have fought for this country, which have created things in this country, and who fight and die to protect this country if they are asked. It is a nation and its citizens deserve those leaders who put their interests first of all.”
This was the speech of Vice President JD Vace for the Republican National Conference last year. “I swear my country,” but I swear my country.
