SEARCHING FOR PEACE 1914-1918

on Network Three

A series of six talks
3: The End of Dynastic Diplomacy 1917
by JAMES JOLL
Sub Warden of St. Antony's College, Oxford
In the third of this series James Joll considers the secret negotiation for a separate peace with the Habsburg Empire. The French representative was, paradoxically enough, a claimant to the French throne. Prince Sixtus of Bourbon Parma, a brother-in-law of the last Austrian Emperor. The negotiation completely failed mainly because peace with Austria could only be achieved as part of a general settlement. As James Joll says, ' The war which Austria had started was not hers to stop.' General editor of the series, ROBERT BLAKE of Christ Church, Oxford
