Sir Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon (1862-1933), was a British statesman and a key figure in the early 20th century, best known for his role as Foreign Secretary from 1905 to 1916. He played a significant part in shaping British foreign policy, particularly in the lead-up to and during World War I, advocating for alliances with France and Russia. Grey is often remembered for his famous remark about the lights going out in Europe, symbolizing the onset of the war. His diplomatic efforts aimed to maintain peace but ultimately failed as tensions escalated into global conflict.
