Briefly, so long as Europe remained in the matter of offensive strength far ahead of the rest of the world, so long was it impossible for peace to be founded on any permanent basis. The Crimean War re-opened Eastern questions Ill THE BROWN WORLD 221 formally ; and by the close of the Russo-Turkish war of '78, Russia had so far taken the place once occupied by France that Disraeli thought it necessary to acquire a new outpost — Cyprus — so that a new guarantee should exist for the inviolability ...of British-Asiatic communications. For though the Crimean campaign had demonstrated once again that Russia's strength was defensive strength and not offensive strength, the Turkish War, in spite of a hundred mistakes, showed that against unorganised Asiatics the white man's weight and persistence were still the same factor they had always been ; in a word, that, out of Europe, Russia was an offensive Power. The slow but continuous Russian advance in Central Asia, until the frontiers of Afghanistan had been reached, sounded the same note.
