This book provides a detailed and splendid description of Britain's politics, economy, society, diplomacy, war, landscape, and humanities after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Under the rule of Queen Anne, the last monarch of the Stuart dynasty, Britain not only participated in the European war that lasted for more than 10 years - the War of Spanish Succession, but also achieved a major victory and officially became the leading power in Europe. This book not only reveals the reasons for Britain's victory, including the relatively relaxed social atmosphere after the revolution, the growing commercial society, the gradual formation of the fiscal-military state system, the rise of party politics, the parallelism of the blue ocean strategy and the European continental strategy, and the military talent of the Duke of Marlborough, etc., But also illustrates the fierce domestic struggle that was going on at the same time. The book also describes in detail the many land and sea wars between Britain and France under Louis XIV, as well as the characteristics of the war techniques popular in Europe in the early 18th century. In addition, this book has excellent comments on the balance of power diplomacy popular in Europe in the 18th century, as well as the politics, military and diplomacy of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.
