European indecisiveness in the face of a “predatory American republic” - a problem that already existed 200 years ago. 👑🦅🇲🇽 Read my review of Raymond Jonas’ latest book on @ceureviewofbooks.bsky.social and embrace the eternal timeliness of Habsburg history. 🖤💛 #habsburg #geopolitics #mexico

Today marks the 178th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which formally ended the Mexican-American War. "The anniversary is also significant because the treaty was negotiated by a U.S. diplomat in direct defiance of the president of the US," writes expert James Lindsay.

Had the pleasure to review Oskar J. Rojewski's "Painter to the Queen" in the Journal of Baltic Studies @balticstudies.bsky.social. An exquisite work of Art & Court History taking the reader on a fascinating adventure across princely courts circa 1500. Have a read: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
