jan 3, 1896 - Kruger Telegram

Description:

The German Kaiser sent a telegram to Kruger, the president of the Transvaal, in January 1896 congratulating him on preserving his country’s independence against attack. This was perceived in Britain as Germany meddling in British imperial private affairs, and resulted in widespread, popular anti-German feelings in Britain for the first time.
