Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Peace of Westphalia (1648), ending the Thirty Years' War,
resulted in the rise of the modern European states system. However,
dynasticism, power politics, commerce, and religion continued to be
the main issues driving International politics and warfare.
William Young examines war and diplomacy during the Age of Louis
XIV and Peter the Great. His study focuses on the later part of the
Franco-Spanish War, the Wars of Louis XIV, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars
in the West. In addition, the author explores the wars of the
Baltic Region and East Europe, including the Thirteen Years' War,
Second Northern War, War of the Holy League, and the Great Northern
War.
The study includes a guide to the historical literature
concerning war and diplomacy during this period. It includes
bibliographical essays and a valuable annotated bibliography of
over six hundred books, monographs, dissertations, theses, journal
articles, and essays published in the English language.
"International Politics and Warfare in the Age of Louis XIV and
Peter the Great" is a valuable resource for individuals interested
in the history of diplomacy, warfare, and Early Modern Europe.
