Excerpt from The Rights of War and Peace: Including the Law of Nature and of Nations After the con icts of the barbaric kingdoms which followed the dissolution of the Western Empire were ended by the predominance of the Frankish monarchy, the world believed that the Pax Romana was to be re stored in Europe by the hand of Charles the Great; but the disruptive forces were destined to prevail once more, and the Holy Roman Empire never succeeded in reviv ing the power of ancient Rome.
