| Description | In this typescript Taylor Cadbury includes extracts from telegrams, notes and letters exchanged between regal and political authorities in Belgium during August 1914. The extracts refer to German attempts to invade Belgium and Belgium's foreign policy as a neutral state in the event of an invasion. Taylor Cadbury includes extracts from letters and telegrams sent by the Belgium Minister of Foreign Affairs. These declared Belgium's decision 'to resist' German invasion 'by all means in its power', and called on England, France and Russia to support Belgium's decision, recognising the German invasion as 'a violation of the laws of nations'. |
