| Description | In the period following the Reformations, Europe became divided: no longer connected by Rome and its orthodoxy, all over Europe, princes and their people polarised along confessional lines.$ ^{1}$ At the same time, diplomacy rose as a means of communication and policy, so all powers, monarchies as well as republics, established long- or short-term embassies and sent envoys to other courts and capitals.$ ^{2}$ Diplomatic links expanded to incorporate Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Morocco, and several South Asian polities.$ ^{3}$ Strategic concerns encouraged states to forge alliances that cut across confessional boundaries, engaging in cross-confessional diplomacy with polities that observed several different Christian and Muslim confessions, many of which were considered heretics or infidels.$ ^{4}$ Fundamental problems also arose when each ruler or state sought to protect the interests of its co-religionists who formed a minority living under the rule of another.$ ^{5}$ Book Name: Confessional Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe |
