Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Explore the ceaseless conflicts between Britain and France, and the machinations of Prussia, Russia, and Austria following the Seven Years War. This rigorous, balanced study draws upon the latest scholarship on 18th-century European diplomacy to expose the tangled web of treaties, territorial claims, and military strategies that dominated the European geopolitical landscape during a pivotal era of global transformation. The author skillfully interweaves the personal ambitions of monarchs with the machinations of their ministers to illuminate both the kaleidoscopic shifts in alliances and the underlying continuity of strategic goals. Using newly discovered documents and the most recent historiography, the author reconstructs the foreign policies of the major continental powers in minute detail, offering fresh insights into the motivations behind their decisions and the consequences of their actions. The book uncovers previously unknown facts about the secret negotiations, treaties, and diplomatic maneuverings that shaped the balance of power during this tumultuous period, and re-evaluates the roles of key figures such as Catherine the Great and Frederick the Great.
