Abstract

This paper deals with forgotten empires of the European modern era. It focuses on Venice whose navy dominated and controlled major parts of the Mediterranean for a certain time, it analyses the realm of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus who created a transregional powerful state in central and eastern Europe in the second half of the 15th c., and it describes the empire of the Jagiellonian dynasty whose Polish-Lithuanian empire was the dominant force in eastern Europe in the 16th and 17th c. Moreover, it highlights the Swedish empire of the 17th c. as a leading power of northern Europe. This plurality of imperial entities ended up with the Seven Years’ War when a pentarchy of Great Britain, France, Russia, Austria and Prussia was introduced in Europe.
