Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Frederic the Great and Kaiser Joseph: An Episode of War Diplomacy in the Eighteenth Century The following study had its origin nearly five years ago at the Record Office. Incidentally I happened to have occasion to refer to some unpublished despatches from Berlin and Vienna in the years 1776-79. As I read them I perceived that the attitude of English statesmen towards Berlin was a relatively impartial and detached one, and that the incidents relating to the Bavarian Succession involved nearly all the typical elements of eighteenth century diplomacy: the intense personal influence of rulers, naked aggression veiled by genealogical pedantry, the struggle for the "balance of power," the assertion of raison d´etat as a plea for all crimes, the rapier play of contending forces, the ruthless crushing of small or neutral Powers by the military aggression of larger ones. In a word, here was an episode of war and diplomacy which seemed to me to have great typical significance.
