The Indian Review September 1914 A Monthly Periodical devoted to the discussion of all topics of Interest

At the end of the seventh cetury Central Europe beyond the Elbe from the Baltic to the Adriatic and the Agean was in the hands of the Slays. [...] The restoration of the Sanjak to Turkey the refusal to allow Servia a port on the Adriatic the zeal for the enlargement of the new Albania all spring from the same motive. [...] Immense crowds are to be found in front of the residences. of the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing Street and the War Office and the Admiralty in Whitehall. [...] When the important but uninteresting war broke out known as the War of the League of Augsburg Belgium was the scene of the constant fighting that took place between William of Orange now King of Great Britain and the French and when the war was ended by the treaty of Ryswick in 1697 the Dutch received the right of garrisoning the strong fortresses in Belgium on the French frontier. [...] When on the death of Charles II in 1700 Philip the grandson of Louis XIV succeeded to the throne of Spain one of the ominous signs of the policy that the Bourbon monarchs intended to adopt was the expulsion of the Dutch garrisons from the frontier barrier fortresses.
