Note 33 — Chapter II · GERMAN DIPLOMACY AND STATECRAFT
J. H. (John Hartman) Morgan translation
Cf. Bismarck’s Erinnerungen (the chapter on the Alvensleben Convention): “It was our interest to oppose the party in the Russian Cabinet which had Polish proclivities ... because a Polish-Russian policy was calculated to vitalize that Russo-French sympathy against which Prussia’s effort had been directed since the peace of Paris.”
