Visit of Tsar Nicholas and the new foreign minister, Sergei Sazonov, to Emperor William at Potsdam. Tentative agreement on the Middle East. The Germans gave the Russians a free hand in northern Persia, while the Russians promised no longer to oppose the Baghdad Railway and to arrange for the connection of this line with the Persian railways. The British, who had always refused to negotiate without Russia and who were now deprived of their chief support in the Baghdad Railway matter, were disappointed.  2
