In the 18th century, the balance of power shifted significantly due to the rise of European nation-states and the decline of traditional empires. The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) redrew geopolitical boundaries and diminished the influence of Spain and France, while strengthening Great Britain as a global power. Additionally, the emergence of Russia as a major player altered the dynamics in Eastern Europe. This period ultimately set the stage for modern nation-state politics and colonial competition.
