So, Just How Secret WAS the British War Guarantee to France (a Country that Great Britain Had Fought Many Wars with and Who They Almost Came to Blows with in 1890 Over the Sudan) in 1914?

It was so secret that not only didn't the public know about it, the Parliament and 90% of the cabinet didn't know abut it, either (Churchill being one of the few). Of course, what was even more tragic than that was the fact that Germany and Austria-Hungary didn't know about it and so there wasn't even the benefit of it being a deterrence, for Christ....What a bunch of fucking morons.
