| Interview with King |
One hundred years ago today, England
declared war against Germany. Historians thought that they knew all
that there was to know about the reasons and the events that lead up
to the first world war. But recently a letter was found that shows
that no matter how much information we think we know, there are
always hidden thoughts and motives. The letter revealed a previously
unknown meeting on August 2, 1914 between King George V and the
British Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey. It revealed that the king
was concerned with Germany's power, that it would dominate England, and
urged the Foreign Secretary to “find a reason” to go to war.
