Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 5: The Age of Louis XIVThe second of the causes determining the course of European history in this age has to be traced in the long, and seemingly remote, history of the Ottoman Power in Europe from the middle of the seventeenth century to the Peace of Carlowitz. Its significance for the Empire, Hungary, Poland, and the Venetian dominions continued till nearly the end of the period treated in this volume. The policy of Louis XIV drew no small advantage from the Eastern question, and viewed its temporary settlement as, in its turn, a menace to the balance of power in Europe, but for a large part of Europe it was to the close of the seventeenth century a question of life and death.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
