Abstract

Cet article explore le rôle de la crise de Fashoda dans la diplomatie française. Il se propose d'abord de retracer les vues de Delcassé sur cet évènement dans le cadre de conceptions plus larges du développement international, puis d'analyser la manière dont il a traité spécifiquement cette crise. Partant de l'hypothèse que Fashoda a constitué une étape importante dans l'évolution de ses théories — tout en marquant une continuité dans sa pratique diplomatique — l'article montre comment cette affaire a renforcé son désir de coopération avec la Grande-Bretagne. This article deals with the role of the Fashoda crisis in French diplomacy, aiming to trace back Delcassé's views on Fashoda in the framework of broader theories of international development and to examine how he dealt with the Fashoda crisis specifically. The article is based on the hypothesis that Fashoda served as a significant moment in the development of Delcassé's political theories and strategies. It also marked a certain continuity in his diplomatic theory and practice. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the Fashoda crisis amplified Delcassé's desire to cooperate with Great Britain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
