Through his participation in the Nine Years War (1688-97) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14), Victor Amadeus II, duke of Savoy, acquired a reputation for unrivalled 'Machiavellian' diplomacy on the international stage. The book puts this diplomacy in context, and considers how the duke raised men and money (at home and abroad), the administrative changes forced by war, the resulting domestic pressures, and how these were dealt with.Cambridge studies in Italian history and culture.War, Diplomacy & the Rise of Savoy, 1690-1720Savoy (France and Italy)HistorySardinia (Italy)HistoryAragonese and Spanish rule, 1297-1708Sardinia (Italy)History1708-1861944/.48Storrs Christopher1095408UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910780273303321War, diplomacy and the rise of Savoy, 1690-17203731653UNINA
