Recent historiography has shown an increasing interest in the multifaceted history of the Seven Year’s War. Besides acknowledging the fighting on all continents as the “first Global War”, Sven Externbrink draws on the analysis of International Relations theory as well as on recent world historiography to break down the global dimension of this last international conflict of the Ancien Régime. He also will address ways of writing war and military history beyond the chronological narrative.
Professor Sven Externbrink is currently Visiting Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Innsbruck/Austria and teaches history at the University of Heidelberg. He has published widely on international relations and military history in Europe from the 16th to the 19th century as well as on the transnational history of France, Italy and the Germanies, for instance Le Cœur du monde – Frankreich und die norditalienischen Staaten (Mantua, Parma, Savoyen) im Zeitalter Richelieus 1624–1635, Münster 1999; Friedrich der Große, Maria Theresia und das Alte Reich. Deutschlandbild und Diplomatie Frankreichs im Siebenjährigen Krieg (1755–1763), Berlin 2006.
