Problems of Power: A Study of International Politics from Sadowa to Kirk-Kilisse (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems of Power: A Study of International Politics From Sadowa to Kirk-Kilisse
During the last ten years the Eternal would seem to have been preparing what one of his vicegerents, the Ger man Chancellor, recently called the policy of the clean slate. Not even Bossuet would venture to divine the sense of the still-hidden writing on the wall. Modern Europe is working out its destiny in blind obedience to the will of its two demiurgic creators, Napoleon and Bis marck. But neither the one nor the other saw ten years ahead. When Napoleon, at Tilsitt, in conversation with the Tsar Alexander and the King of Prussia, said to the latter, on his complaining of the humiliating conditions of peace imposed by the great Emperor, It is part of my system to weaken Prussia; I mean that she shall no longer be a power in the political balance of Europe,1 he magnificently formulated a policy which might have become the principle of action of successive French states men; but he could not guess that within seven years Stein and Hardenberg, Fichte, Schiller and Schleiermacher would have inflamed the soul of a regenerated Prussia.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uses precise historical analysis to examine the dynamic relationship between world politics and economics from the Franco-Prussian War to the eve of World War I. The author posits that post-1871 European politics was dominated by two forces: the Franco-Russian Alliance and the Triple Alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. However, the book shows that economic interests, fueled by industrial expansion and financial globalization, increasingly influenced foreign policy. The author illustrates these forces with examples ranging from American expansionism to the Balkan conflicts, demonstrating that economic factors often superseded political considerations and traditional notions of national interest. In doing so, the book challenges traditional interpretations of diplomatic history and provides a fresh perspective on the origins of the First World War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330303375_0
