Entente cordiale
Entente cordiale. Friendly relations between England and France, stopping short of a formal alliance. The term was coined at Haddo House, the country home of the 4th earl of Aberdeen, by the French chargé d'affaires, the comte de Jarnac, in 1843. It is sometimes applied retrospectively to the 1830s, when Britain supported the government of Louis-Philippe in the face of the coldness of the conservative powers Austria, Russia, and Prussia, but it applied more properly to 1843–6. It was revived to describe the relationship inaugurated by the agreements of 1904, settling outstanding questions between the two countries, which eventually brought Britain into the First World War on the side of France and Russia, although no formal obligation existed.

entente cordiale
entente cordiale (1904) Friendly understanding between Britain and France. It aimed to settle territorial disputes and to encourage cooperation against perceived German pressure. Britain was to be given a free hand in Egyptian affairs and France in Morocco. Germany, concerned over this entente, tested its strength by provoking a crisis in Morocco in 1905, leading to the Algeciras Conference (1906). The entente was extended in 1907 to include Russia and culminated in the formal alliance of Britain, France, and Russia in World War I against the Central Powers and the Ottoman empire.

Entente Cordiale
Entente Cordiale (1904) The Anglo-French treaty of April 1904. It was a colonial agreement, in which France recognized British interests in Egypt, whilst Britain recognized French interests in Morocco. The Entente also settled disputes over Newfoundland, Madagascar, and Siam. The agreement greatly reduced tensions between Britain and France. It led to cooperation in the Moroccan Crisis of 1905, and paved the way, from 1906, for talks between British and French military figures for military cooperation against Germany.
