I thought I'd do something the lovely [livejournal.com profile] boxsofrain did a bit ago, and declare a Friendzy (Friending frenzy!). Actually I'm not sure she intended for it to work out quite like this but it did: (1) answer the following questions in a comment; (2) As Boxes says, "Also to make this more fun, feel free to read other peoples comments and reply to them with something nice about them. ... Make friends, add each other, mingle, just please be nice." (3) extra points if you mention the Friendzy in your own LJ and send people over to the party! (=

A bit of tricky diplomacy work and creative editing of a message on the part of Bismarck so that France would be offended in hopes that it would create a pretext for the Franco-Prussian war. I think it worked.

Wikipedia probably does a better job of describing it than I.

Interesting. I love stuff like that. (History, International Relations, Diplomacy, devious communication ...)

19th century Europe was full of secret agreements and such. At least the later half was. I just had to go through class today listening to a lecture about diplomacy that led up to the First World War and read about it last night. x.x

It's all really fascinating since no one actually knew the all of the details of what was going on. They knew these agreements were there between other countries, but they weren't sure what they contained if they weren't involved and even in their own country all of the details of a treaty was kept to only a couple of people.

Might still be going on today.
