Description
The book begins with the end of the Seven Years’ War in 1763, which left Britain as the dominant power in Europe. It then traces the rise of new powers, such as Prussia and Austria, and the decline of others, such as Spain and the Ottoman Empire. The book also examines the impact of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, which reshaped the map of Europe and led to the emergence of new political ideologies.
After the defeat of Napoleon, the European powers came together to create a new order based on the principle of balance of power. This system, known as the Concert of Europe, was designed to prevent future wars and maintain peace in Europe. The Concert of Europe was successful for a time, but it eventually collapsed in the mid-19th century, leading to the Crimean War.
The Crimean War was a major conflict between Russia and an alliance of Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire. The war was fought over control of the Black Sea and the Balkans. The Crimean War was a costly and bloody conflict, and it resulted in the defeat of Russia. The war also led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of nationalism in the Balkans.
