Abstract(s)
This article provides an overview and analysis of the context of the Newfoundland fishery problem (1713−1904) and its importance for the signing of the Entente Cordiale, which is often overlooked by historians dealing with the Anglo–French rapprochement. This paper expands and complements the author's dissertation thesis on the Entente Cordiale and focuses on the role of Newfoundland in the process of the negotiation of the convention.
Le but de cet article est de donner un aperçu et une analyse du contexte du problème de la pêche terreneuvienne (1713−1904) et de son importance pour la signature de l'Entente cordiale, qui a été souvent ignorée par les historiens du rapprochement Anglo–Français jusqu'à présent. Cet article développe et complète la thèse de l'auteur sur l'Entente cordiale et se concentre sur le rôle de Terre-Neuve dans le processus de négociation de la Convention de 1904.
