1756- 1763, the famous seven-year war broke out among European powers, which was also the first important war in European history. During this period, Russia, Austria and France jointly attacked the kingdom of Prussia. At this time, Prussia was competing for hegemony with the weakening holy Roman Empire. At that time, Prussia formed an alliance with Britain against the Austrian-French alliance. The war was very fierce, and a total of about 6.5438+0.2 million soldiers died on the battlefield. With the expansion of the war, Austria has won one victory after another, while Prussia has been losing the battle, getting desperate every year. At this time, Russia suddenly turned against the water and helped Prussia get rid of the crisis. Through this rebellion, Russia not only consolidated its power in Eastern Europe, but also won a deep friendship with Prussia.
Another important war in European history, World War I, Russia also turned against the water. 19 17 years, the Russian revolution broke out 10 years, and the Russian monarchy over 300 years ended. Bolsheviks came to power in Russia and unilaterally withdrew from the war because they advocated peace. The Allies were in an uproar at that time, because without Russian troops to contain the Germans, the Anglo-French front would certainly lose. Moreover, because Russia withdrew from the United front early, after half a year, Russia's allies were defeated, and Russia did not have to cede land compensation. This time, the rebellion did not save other countries, but saved Russia itself.
Throughout the history of the world, the diplomatic principle of any country is to safeguard its own national interests, so it is understandable for Russia to release its own national interests.
