Synopsis
Excerpt from Frederic the Great and Kaiser Joseph: An Episode of War Diplomacy in the Eighteenth Century
The View taken by English diplomatists of the events of 1776 - 79 was, on the whole, a detached and impartial one, for it was to the interest of England to be neutral. In previous years she had been very hostile to Frederic, but now she became reconciled. Hence in these few years the English diplomatic despatches have something of the value which Ranke has claimed for those of Venice at an earlier date. They seize the central line of diplomatic tend ency and show the direction in which Europe as a whole was moving. Every other source - French, German, Russian, Austrian, Saxon, Bavarian - has been explored by one foreign historian or another, but the English comment still remained practically unknown to them. It seems to me that these despatches complete the picture and place the episodes of the time in their true relation to one another.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the diplomatic and military crisis that unfolded between Prussia and Austria in the 1770s over the succession of the Elector of Bavaria. The author uses unpublished archival material to shed light on the motivations of the main protagonists, including the Prussian King Frederick the Great and the Austrian Emperor Joseph II. The author argues that personal ambition and national interest were intertwined in the decision-making of both men.
