Document Summary
The european state was for the first time in its history to be in a position to act independently in defence of its national interests (the treaty of rome) against outside aggression or a threat thereof. In this framework the state had the power of self- defence, but not war, under a special pact. The first treaty of this kind, in which the. State undertook to submit to the common judgement of the league of nations, was signed in london in 1778. This treaty brought the state into subjection to the other. That the principle of self-defence was, in fact, an absolute principle of the german nation from the first, was a matter of self-evident fact; it was recognized and declared by the prussian government as early as 1815. It was declared and admitted by the treaty of berlin in 1866.
