Wielka Brytania i przyczyny kryzysu wenezuelskiego (1902–1903)
Great Britain and the causes of Venezuelan Crisis, 1902–1903

Summary/Abstract: The text deals with the question of British involvement in preparation of the Venezuelan Crisis, 1902–1903. The main thesis is that it was British who were more aggressive participant of British-German ‘alliance’ that established blockade of Venezuelan ships and ports in December 1902. Besides, unlike Germany, HM Government’s main motivation was not economic but a prestigious one. The United States did not recognise, both, British dominant role and their true motives so Americans could not prevent the crisis.
