About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Diplomatic History of the War: Including a Diary of Negotiations and Events in the Different Capitals, the Texts of the Official Documents of the Various Governments, the Public Speeches in the European Parliaments, an Account of the Military Preparations of the Countries Concerned

In the theatre of Eastern politics there have been two principal actors, the Russian and Austrian Empires. Their centres of gravity lie, roughly, near or on the dividing line Of Eastern and Western Europe. To the east Of this line lies Russia - vast, inpenetrable, imperturbable - the leader of the Civilization of these regions. Athwart the line lies Austria, embracing within herself the elements of both East and West, and buffeted by political storms from every quarter of the continent. Thus we come to see the meaning of the words of Prince Trubetskoy (quoted above), and understand the position Of Austria as the centre Of gravity of the political crises preceding the out break Oi the European War.
