by John
Ellis |

(1660-1800) "During the Spanish Succession War, english government stated that there only could be stability using a political system they called 'balance of powers'.
[...] Using this system, England nullified any dangerous competitors in the continent using a coalition against them while its fleet ruled the oceans and its troops conquered supremacy in the colonial world. There is no doubt that XVIII century started the english political supremacy like french did on XVII century or spanish did on XVI century" (Jaime Vicens-Vives, "Modern General History").
