The agreement, forged in the shadow of diplomatic intrigue, was allegedly based on a speech by Joseph Chamberlain, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. The deal, said to be a response to growing concerns about Russia and China, was seen as a masterstroke of foreign policy by both nations.
