Military operations during Ed
ward's reign were confined to expe
ditions against Thibet and fighting
against natives in South Africa and
on the Indian frontier.
Edward's influence in world poli
tics waa on the side of peace. He
checked the storm. of public sentiment
following the action of the Uussiau
fleet In firing on fishermen In the
English channel. ; .
Through his diplomacy friendly re-
lations were established with France
and maintained with the other lead
ing nations of 'the world. The visit
of President Fallleres of France to
England during Edward's reign waa I
one of the jnost notable diplomatic
events. Edward frequently visited
other monarcbs and these ylslis help-
ped to knit the bond of friendship
between Great Britain and other pow
