Stirring discord between Russia and Austria has always been a part of Britannia's state policy. Despite not achieving any substantial effect, the British Government spared no effort in promoting it.
When it comes to patience, there are probably few in the world that can rival the British.
In this era of unprecedented change, which hasn't been seen for two thousand years, the whole of humanity has become more impatient. Those who can adhere to a diplomatic policy for decades are truly rare.
With the development of science and technology, people's patience continued to decline, and politics was no exception.
In this era that increasingly values short-term interests, persisting in a state policy for a long time is definitely not an easy task.
From this perspective, it was no fluke that the British became the dominant power of the 19th century.
