A prominent diplomat traces the roots of the European crisis to Napoleon IIs ambitions, Russia’s oceanward goals, German expansion under Bismarck, and Britain’s sea safety needs. He notes the shifts from Napoleonic Italy to Prussia’s rise, the Spanish throne episode, and the triple entente as counterweights. He warns that the involved powers avoided general war through restraint, while fear and economic disruption loom.
