What reading level is The Foreign Policy of Sir Edward Grey 1906 1915 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a position which we had not consciously sought, but to which we had been led by over a century of work against the Slave Trade and piracy and general insecurity and the traffic in arms. At one time, for instance, the Turkish Government asked us to remove our buoys, as it desired to put down its own. We removed them ; and then, since no Turkish buoys appeared and the waters were dangerous, after about a year's waiting, put them down again. However, the Gulf was now definitely under Britis...h influence, and in pre-entente times it had formed a specially sensitive spot where Russia might always cause us annoyance, or even force us into a quarrel. The Russian sphere of influence is far and away larger, richer, and more important than the British, and the stipulation about the Gulf is hardly enough to redress WORKING OF THE TREATY OF 1907 87 the balance. But the fact is, that Russia's interest in Persia is much greater than ours. Persia has a conter- minous frontier with Russia for over a thousand miles, lies just in the line of Russia's natural expansion, and has far more trade and intercourse with Russia than with any other Power.
