In 1701, in reaction to the exertion by William Pitt the Youngers government of diplomatic pressure and the threat of naval force to determine the outcome of the struggle between Russia and Turkey in the Balkans, the playwright, and opposition MP, Sheridan attacked what he called the system of ambition, of vain glory in British foreign policy.Foreign policy was of central concern in Britain between 1660 and 1793. It affected and interested not only politicians but also all those involved in matters of economics and religion-with taxation, religion and the succession being intimately bound up with Britains alignment in Europe. It was a time of state-making and of colonial expansion and empire building. A time of expansion, consolidation, and the protection of interests.Jeremy Blacks respected history of British foreign policy in this crucial and fascinating era deals with all the major conflicts, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars, the Wars of the Spanish and Austrian Successions, the Seven Years War and the American and French revolutions.

A System of Ambition?
Seller: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It was Sheridan, an opposition MP in 1791, who attacked Pitt the Younger's policy of using diplomatic pressure and naval threat to influence the outcome of the struggle between Russia and Turkey as 'a system of ambition, of vain glory'. In this study Professor Black asks whether Sheridan was right, or whether British foreign policy was more a matter of 'shifts and expedients' in an unpredictable international system. Slightly off-mint. Seller Inventory # 519003
