  1905: Foreign Minister Edward Grey enters secret talks with France about sending British forces to their aid in the event of German attack. The details were only revealed to the Cabinet and Prime Minister in 1911, by which point the 'hidden perspective' was firmly entrenched. Owen argues that the outbreak of war in 1914 was far from inevitable.
