Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the balance of power between European countries that was prevalent until the outbreak of the French Revolution. The author details how alliances that appear to be on the face of it well-intentioned can actually be harmful in the pursuit of their long-term effects. The text gives examples of instances where supposed "defensive" alliances ultimately lead to the oppression of weaker states. The author emphasizes the abuse of power and how it can lead nations down a path of perpetual war. The text further discusses the intervention and interests of different major European powers regarding the French Revolution and how containing the spread of the revolution became a top priority for many, ultimately leading to the rise of a new kind of balance of power.
