520 _a"Secret Diplomatic History of The Eighteenth Century" by Karl Marx is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work analyzes the diplomatic exchanges between various European powers during the 18th century, focusing especially on the British and Russian interactions. It provides insight into the political maneuvers and motivations behind historical events, particularly in relation to conflicts involving Turkey. The opening of the text introduces several contemporary diplomatic letters from key figures, such as Mr. Rondeau and Sir George Macartney, detailing their observations and negotiations regarding Russia's attitude towards the Ottoman Empire and its ambitions in Europe. Through these letters, Marx sets the stage for a discussion on how English diplomats expressed both concern and ambivalence toward Russian power, revealing their subservience and trepidation while plotting strategic alliances for their own benefit. These correspondence pieces serve as the foundation for Marx's broader critique of the period's political dynamics and the shifting allegiances among European nations, laying the groundwork for a historical analysis that challenges the motivations and integrity of 18th-century diplomacy.
