Throughout the nineteenth century, international relations in
Europe were dominated by five great powers - Britain, France,
Russia, Austria and Prussia. The creation of this system has been
located traditionally in the long struggle with revolutionary and
Napoleonic France. By contrast, this study demonstrates that its
origins lie half a century earlier. During the third quarter of the
eighteenth century, the European states-system was transformed by
the military rise of Russia and Prussia in the Seven Years War of
1756-63. Eastern Europe became pre-eminent, and during the 1770s
Poland was partitioned for the first time, while Russia and Austria
also seized territory from the Ottoman empire. Europe's centre of
gravity moved sharply eastwards, and by the later 1770s Russia was
emerging as the leading continental power. This study, based upon
manuscript and printed sources from six countries, provides a
comprehensive analysis of these crucial events.
