الدبلوماسية البريطانية في أوروبا (1714-1756)‎

Abstract EN

Since the end of its war with France at the end of the seventeenth century, for a period of forty-five years, Britain pursued a new diplomacy, as the judgment on events became not bound by the principles and moral values but rather looked at the interest of a country, and European international relations were based on the principle of international balance, which does not allow any country To become a force that is difficult to confront by other countries, and he explains the new British diplomacy, which sought to direct and benefit from the struggle for influence in Europe between the Bourbon family and the Habsburg family to serve a British interest.

This conflict evolved as he moved to control trade and its ways with the American colonies to obtain its wealth.

Therefore, the application of the principle of international balance has become important to prevent the competing countries of Britain from imposing their influence in Europe by force and circumstance in the strategic regions in the colonies to dominate their trade, and it secured for itself the domination of trade with the colonies.

The Treaty of Utrecht divided the European states in a balanced and equal way to prevent one from leaving one against the other and to compel them all.

Britain also maintained the need of these countries for their financial and military assistance.

France lost hope of expanding Spain's possessions, Spain completely cut off its relationship with the French crown, and France lost hope of expanding Spanish colonies in South America.
