Austria's Wars of Emergence, 1683-1797

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the military dimensions of the Habsburg Monarchy, this book explores how Austria's rise as a European power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was significantly influenced by military strength and state instruments. It argues that these elements were as crucial as the monarchy's marriage strategies in maintaining its cohesion and power. Through this lens, the work sheds light on a largely overlooked aspect of Habsburg history, contributing to a deeper understanding of its role in European politics.
