The balance of sea power in the early modern era
The balance of power is among the foundational principles in international relations. This principle, however, has been analysed mostly in relation to land powers on the European continent, while the historiography has failed to appropriately recognize its naval aspect so far. This article compares the English and Dutch sea powers or fleets during the three Anglo-Dutch Wars (1652–1674). Warships or ships of the line were the main instruments of n…
Ethnic ‘stereotypes’ in early modern Europe
The paper analyses the ethnic ‘stereotypes’ or ‘national characters’ in early modern Europe by highlighting the several sorts of sources that spread such stereotypes. The starting point is the (in)famous eighteenth-century’s Styrian Völkertafel or Table of Nations, which is translated into English in its entirety. Source by source, textual and visual, the paper traces these stereotypes back to Johann Boemus in the early sixteenth century. The aut…

The Balance of Power from the Thirty Years’ War and the Peace of Westphalia (1648) to the War of the Spanish Succession and the Peace of Utrecht (1713)

Nonetheless, the concept of balance of power was not even explicitly referenced in the Peace of Westphalia (1648). Instead, the legal principles of status quo ante and uti possidetis reigned supreme. Even though the balance-of-power principle was not mentioned in the Peace of Westphalia, it was often referenced during the n…
To hell with everything
The large post-war archaeological excavations at Ptuj Castle in Yugoslavia were responsible for what seemed at the time to be one of the most intriguing discoveries in Eastern Europe. Excavated after the German occupation, the archaeologists and anthropologists had a mission to prove the existence of early medieval Slavic settlement of the disputed border areas in response to the Germanization policy and its supporting archaeological theories dur…
The rise of state navies in the early seventeenth century
This article addresses a relative vacuum of the historiography of early-seventeenth-century navies. The central question is how European states established and sustained their navies. The article presents the main historiographical issues, especially the concepts of the ‘military revolution afloat’ and the ‘fiscal-naval state’, and demonstrates the technological, administrative and social concerns of early modern navies. It also exposes the main …
