Agreed and fixed! On 3 August 1914, Germany declared war on France and broke the treaty by invading Belgium. As Foreign Secretary, Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Fallodon, stood at a window in the Foreign Office, watching the lamps being lit as dusk approached, he famously remarked: "The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our time". The British Cabinet would vote almost unanimously to declare war the next day... Those lamps have never been relit!
