The Birth of a Great Power System, 1740-1815 examines a key
development in modern European history: the origins and emergence
of a competitive state system. H.M. Scott demonstrates how the
well-known and dramatic events of these decades - the emergence of
Russia and Prussia; the three partitions of Poland; the continuing
retreat of the Ottoman Empire; the unprecedented territorial
expansion of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, halted by the
final defeat of Napoleon - were part of a wider process that
created the modern great power system, dominated by Europe's five
leading states. Enhanced by maps and a chronology of principal
events, this comprehensive and accessible textbook is fully
up-to-date in its coverage of recent scholarship. Unlike many other
treatments of this period, Scott extends his beyond the French
Revolution of 1789 in order to demonstrate how events both before
and after this great upheaval merged to produce the central
political development in modern European history. This book
addresses the crucial phase in the emergence of the modern
international system which, with the subsequent addition of the
USA, Japan and Russia, has prevailed until the present day.
