War of the Auxiliaries Without Principals, in Europe
The author analyzes the current European war as a struggle where many powers act as auxiliaries rather than principals. He debates which rulers stand as primary actors, from the Queen of Hungary to Spain, Austria, France, Britain, the Dutch, and others, suggesting the Empire may be the true principal while others hedge their roles. The piece explores potential shifts in alliances and the possibility of new elections to alter the balance of power.
