"Palmerston's Follies" refers to a series of foreign policy decisions made by British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston in the mid-19th century that were often seen as reckless or misguided. Notable examples include his interventions in the affairs of Greece, the Crimean War, and the opium trade in China. Critics argued that these actions, driven by a mix of national pride and a desire to assert British influence, sometimes led to unnecessary conflicts and strained relations with other nations. Ultimately, they highlight the complexities and challenges of imperial diplomacy during that era.
