Spanning five centuries and covering England, France, Spain, Germany and Austria, this book considers the key themes in the formation of the modern state in Europe. The relationship of the nobility with the state is the key to understanding the development of modern government in Europe. By focusing on the implications of the incessant and costly wars which European governments waged against each other this book examines how modern states evolved.
