About This Book

The author traces the unraveling of an uneasy alliance between two imperial courts after their summit, contrasting one ruler's appetite for decisive military campaigns to enforce a lasting peace with the other's preference for cautious, reformist restraint and diplomatic accommodation. The narrative follows envoy reports, court conversations, and salon opinion as Spanish resistance and Austrian mobilization complicate plans, and shows how differing strategic aims, personal influences at each court, and misreadings of allies' intentions turned a formal accord into a fragile, contested partnership.
