Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Behind the Veil in Persia: English Documents The systematic strangling of Greece by a group of powers who allege to be guided in their actions by the desire "to protect small nations", and who seek by means of this catchword to enlist the moral support of their own people and that of other countries, is being achieved by methods which have been found effective by the Entente powers in their long joint practice of oppression. The fate that England and Russia have mapped out for Persia since 1907 affords a striking example of such methods. All that is now being experienced by Greece and more, Persia had to go through. Not only from Russia, whose breaches of law and contracts in its dealings with that unhappy country have few parallels in recent history. Infinitely more grave is the attitude of England who, beneath the mask of the "friendly mediator and protector of the weak", as in the case of Greece, cautiously confers the role of executioner on an allied nation to save the remnant of her own prestige. The double game played by England for nearly a decade has long deceived many an intelligent and patriotic Persian, and gave reason to hope that the well-meaning English mediation so often appealed to in times of great stress would save Persia from incessant humiliation. In England itself and not least from the group of English members of the "Persia Committee" criticism of British policy in Persia made the leading statesmen in Downing Street very uncomfortable. Professor Edward G. Browne, the most eloquent advocate of the cause of Persia in England, has again and again entered the lists for a more chivalrous policy towards Persia in his famous book "Persian Revolution" and in his numerous other works. Indeed he often addressed hard and bitter words to England and Russia, whereby he touched and soothed many a wounded Persian heart. Grey, however, who was responsible for the English zig-zag course in Persia, could afford to let this severe critic have his say.
