The Entente Cordiale and American Policy

In late 1860, faced with the unprecedented events that were rocking the U.S., France and Britain sought to coordinate their policies on the American Question through an extension of the countries’ 1830 entente cordiale. The foreign ministers from both countries welcomed this convergence. But France did not follow Britain blindly. The entente cordiale deteriorated as the war went on; divergent diplomatic choices, mutual distrust and resentment between French and British foreign ministers, and political events in the European theatre strained relationships between the two countries. The Trent affair and the revelation of an incident relating to French mediation heightened tensions.Ultimately, the entente cordiale was a means to protect the rights of neutrals, which both powers feared would be trampled by the warring parties given that the U.S. had not originally subscribed to the Declaration of Paris.
