Original article by RobS from WP
'''H. Wickham Steed''' full name '''Henry Wickham Steed''' (October 10, 1871 - January 13, 1956) was a British journalist and historian. He was born in Long Melford, England.
Appointed by [[Joseph Pulitzer]] as Paris correspondent for the New York ''World''. He joined ''[[The Times]]'' of London as a foreign correspondent and was editor from 1919 until his resignation in 1922. The following year he became editor of ''Review of Reviews'' (1923-30), the journal that had been established by William Stead in 1890. An leading expert on [[Eastern Europe]], his views had much influence with decision-makers such as high level bureaucrats and Cabinet politicians in the [[First World War]] and its aftermath. During the war, Steed befriended anti-[[Habsburg]] émigrés such as [[Edvard Benes]], [[Tomas Masaryk]] and [[Roman Dmowski]] and advised the British government to seek the liquation of [[Austria-Hungary]] as a war aim. Steed was [[anti-semitic]] and a Germanophobe; in a editoral he wrote in the London Times in 1914, he labeled efforts to stop the impeding war as "German-Jewish trick".
