After the Peace of Utrecht and from 1713 onwards the European states had faced a single major issue, the French pre-eminence. On the other hand Peter the Great was faced with the governance of their territories annexed in the Great Northern War and then he dedicated himself to expanding his empire to the east, especially on Persia, the Anglo-Russian relations improved significantly after peace and not until 1750-60 when Russia begins to act as a great power, Britain and France remained united against English interests in Italy, but there was still the promise of these to Spain to receive Tuscany, Parma and Piacenza after the death of their rulers. Spain and France conclude an agreement that would lead to a war against Habsburg Spain recovered Milan and Naples and France saldaría a question drawn from the Polish division, but this had nothing to do with the Franco-British to prevent further English rule in Italy, however for 1733 France and Spain would be cooperating more actively than they would be doing with Great Britain, this situation is caused in part by the rivalry existing between the two nations and the interpretation of a treaty on possessions colonial conflicts in the American colonies that were harassing the bilateral relationship between Spain and England and France where he feared for English hegemony, but what prevented a declaration of war was the surprise invasion of MUTE by Frederick II, King of Prussia (1740 ) thus begins a major international dynamic marked by the emergence of Brandenburg-Prussia as a great power at the expense of the Habsburgs and the vast expansion of British colonial rule at the expense of France. Great Britain, a traditional ally of the Habsburgs was at war with Spain, which probably enter France, the Netherlands, another ally of Austria only saw the alliance as an instrument against the Bourbons, Federico II favorable circumstances who only feared for Russian intervention, Spain, greedy for more territory Italiano allied with Frederick against the Habsburgs, Saxony soon joined the alliance and this was followed by France, which would have disastrous consequences. England agreed to subsidize the effort Austria, in order and began a confusing war that lasted 7 years of which the Anglo-French hostilities stop because the other party relied on these for the continuation of the war, the conclusion was not big changes, general maintained the existing configuration, with the difference that Silesia passed to Frederick and that Brandenburg-Prussia became a European power, Austria would understand the futility of the Dutch and the British and reaffirm their territories and their hostility to Brandenburg -Prussia, this led to the declaration that France would abandon its alliance with Britain in terms favorable, so the board is restructured with a Franco-Austrian alliance and an Anglo-Russian, which would annex promising Federico German neutrality in the Anglo-French and was unfolding in the East Indies, this fear to be hated, France was humiliated and deceived by Federico and Austrian proposals and found a warm welcome in France, ending the long conflict between Bourbons and Habsburgs had marked both European diplomacy over the past two centuries, Federico thwarted strategy for England by the French reaction and the alliance between Austria and Russia against it, against it decides to attack first and preemptively invaded Saxony, this causes what most wanted to avoid entering into alliances against him and the annexation of small states in the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden. Fortunately, thanks to a series of events manages to keep the state Federico Prussian and Austrian efforts were unsuccessful while France would concentrate on England for what he needed to resume their forces in the same way that Russia would withdraw. Great Britain was established as a world power in the battles of the East Indies and in the disputes over Canada, moving permanently to France, this concern particularly for Spain for fear of the British advance south America which caused the Franco-English contra Inglaterra de la cual no se encontrarían frutos, la nueva posición de Gran Bretaña ya era innegable; a este conflicto se le conoce como la Guerra de los Siete Años que acabaría con la paz de 1763, luego de esta Gran Bretaña se aísla del continente, lo que es claro frente a su acomodada situación. Para 1768 se desencadenó la guerra entre Rusia y el Imperio Otomano principalmente por la creciente influencia rusa sobre Polonia, la cual había significado la quema de un pueblo turco, influencia que también veía con recelo Francia, ya que había perdido influencias ahí en manos de Rusia, sin embargo el éxito ruso sobre los turcos, apoyada esta por Inglaterra provocó reacciones en otros lugares Europe, especially in Austria who watched with concern the Russian influence on its commercial arteries, Austria and the Turks undertook to maintain the integrity of his empire which ended in a Russian austerity to be unable to keep possessions in the Danube, Federico addition eager to get part of Poland urges Austria to a negotiation with Russia for the distribution of land which is benefited in Russia, Austria and geopolitically resources Prussia (1772). Russia after the war in the East secured an outlet to the Black Sea, obtaining freedom of navigation in that sea, issue jealously closed by the Turks for two centuries, the growing Russian influence in the Balkans and the Caucasus, threatening the very existence of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. On the other hand Britain was interested again from the east to be upset for American independence in France as a counter-offensive which cooperated in the Seven Years War in 1779, Spain followed suit frustrated French hopes to recover Gibraltar and in 1780 England declares war on Holland for this trade with the colonies rebel and have joined the league against British maritime rights, after hostilities England lost America but has established itself as the great maritime power, colonial and industrial world, while Spain would focus on achieve a beneficial peace with England, France was moved from its former position of prominence did not mean a decline of colonial rule and since then Russia was seen as a new power, like Brandenburg-Pusi, Poland was partitioned, Austria faced the Balkans with Russia as the latter with the vindicated Sweden and the decaying Ottoman Empire. Italy had become a secondary issue compared to the eastern and overseas conflicts.
