To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all matters affecting the policy of nations and the pursuit of their conflicting interests, they imposed no check upon the absolute freedom of action of the individual State. Meanwhile, the poUtical relations of the States themselves were dominated, as far as Europe was concerned, by the struggle for ascendency of rival groups of the Great Powers, and there was a strong tendency on the part of the smaller States to fall more or less definitely under the political or economic influence of one... or other of these great confederations. This organisation of the European States into groups of immense and not unequal strength, while it had its origin in the THE CONCERT OF EUROPE 45 preparation for war, suggested also means by which peace might be preserved. On several occasions the co-operation of these groups — in the form of the Concert of Europe — was successful in effecting a settlement of disputes, or restricting the extent of conflicts which had actually broken out. The great danger lay in the conflicting interests of the groups them- selves, but the experience gained from their co-operation in the Balkan crisis of 1912-13 aroused some hopes that a reconciliation of their several aims might be effected, and might serve as a basis of some closer and more permanent as- sociation.
