Scott demonstrates how the well-known and dramatic events of these decades - the emergence of Russia and Prussia; the three partitions of Poland; the continuing retreat of the Ottoman Empire; the unprecedented territorial expansion of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, halted by the final defeat of Napoleon - were part of a wider process that created the modern great power system, dominated by Europe's five leading states.Enhanced by 410 4$aThe Modern European State System 606 $aGreat powers$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aGreat powers$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y1648-1789 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y1789-1815 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1648-1789 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1789-1815 615 0$aGreat powers$xHistory 615 0$aGreat powers$xHistory 676 $a940.2/53 676 $a940.253 700 $aScott$b H.
