"Secret Diplomatic History of The Eighteenth Century" by Karl Marx is a historical analysis of 18th-century European diplomatic interactions, especially those between Britain and Russia. The book gives a glimpse into of the hidden political actions and reasons driving historical moments, notably around conflicts involving Turkey. The story begins with real letters from important people like Mr. Rondeau and Sir George Macartney, who share what they saw and did while talking about Russia's feelings toward the Ottoman Empire and its goals in Europe. These letters show how English diplomats felt worried and unsure about Russia's power, which Marx uses to point out their obedience and fear as they made alliances for their own gain. This sets the scene for Marx to criticize the political climate of the time and the changing loyalties of European countries, causing people to question the honesty and purposes of 18th-century diplomacy.
