What are the differing reactions of the three monarchs to the seizure of Polish territory? Which one most obviously states a desire to increase power? 2. How would a realist interpret the divisions of Poland? What about a liberal idealist? 3. Poland had a weak central government. Is this an indication that a strong central government is necessary for the survival of a state? 4. Note that by the late eighteenth century many of Europe’s small states had disappeared. Is this a lesson that small states don’t survive in the long run? Or have the rules of the international system changed over the last 300 years? What were the rules in 1750? What are the rules now? What role has the geographical spread of democracy and its accompanying ideals played in changing the rules? What about the growth of international trade and economic interdependence?
