Alexander Izvolski

Alexander Petrovich Izvolski (18561919) was a Russian diplomat. He served as foreign minister of Russia between 1906 and 1910 and then as Russian ambassador to France. An extreme Russian nationalist, he is often seen as a major provocateur during the years leading to the outbreak of the First World War. When the war broke out, he is reputed to have said happily, "C'est ma guerre!" (This is my war!) implying that he had brought it about.
