  • The Uncle of Europe


    Edward VII of the United Kingdom



    I’m wondering, I often hear how he was a major factor in Britain aligning with France in the Entente Coordinal, is this true? If he was, am I mistaken in my other impression that the British monarch was a figurehead since the early reign of Queen Victoria. I will freely admit I am a bit lacking concerning modern British history, but I wish to learn more of it.



    Also are there any notable domesitc policies he influenced?
    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
    The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
    The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
