- Abstract
The Seven Years' War, on all its fronts, was especially abundant in prior diplomatic movements and meetings designed to avoid it; there were many subtle games of impossible alliances that were finally fruitless and others that were considered feasible but never materialized. It was a confrontation in which all the participants, despite their positions of strength, kept open avenues for negotiation throughout its development. By way of the documents that were exchanged, metaphor-laden language acquired an important role in the description and analysis of developments, as well as possible alternatives for correcting the course of events. This study establishes the sequence and the main lines in the negotiation process followed by the powers involved in the war between Spain and Portugal, from its early stages up to its conclusion.
