- This article corrects the French historiography as it relates to the Entente (1904). In the French historiography, the British First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir John Fisher, is deemed to have been an enthusiastic supporter of the Entente. However, this article argues that despite Fisher’s publically expressed ‘enthusiasm’, he was in fact a cynical ‘Realist’ who accepted the Entente only in so far as it benefited the Royal Navy and that Fisher particularly disliked the French and had no regard for the French navy as professional sailors.
