First comment

"diplomatic history" is the conduct of relations between nations. I'm sorry but I don't understand the what is on the article page at all. Thx Nobs 02:20, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Queries

It is the study of the conduct of international relations between states or across state boundaries.

Many would regard "the history of international relations" as something different to diplomatic history, such as John Charmley (a self-proclaimed diplomatic historian). Does anyone feel able to create two separate ones.

This is the most common form of history and is often the classical and popular belief of what history should be.

Surely the history of the development of a state, its high politics and constitution, is the more "traditional" form? Is there any evidence one way or the other? Timrollpickering 20:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I certainly would like to contribute, and some division is necessary; but I can't really commit the time to begin either from scratch, cause they both would be half-assed. But this article right now is almost an embarassment. nobs 20:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Political history

IMO this article says the almost exactly the same things as the article on political history. i think the distinction between diplomatic and political history should be made more clear.--Greece666 02:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Documents of Diplomatic History

The link at the bottom of the page titled 'Documents of Diplomatic History' — what are its credentials (as a selection of documents presumably selected for some interpretation of importance)? Njál 23:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Diplomatic history

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Diplomatic history's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Kershaw":

  • From Andreas Hillgruber: Kershaw (2000), pp. 9-10.
  • From Adolf Hitler: Kershaw, Ian (1998), Hitler: 1889–1936: Hubris, City of Westminster, London, England: Penguin Books, pp. 8–9 {{citation}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Westphalian system?

I wonder why there is no mention of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, which according to some historians was more or less the foundation of the modern diplomatic system as we know it today (see also Westphalian sovereignty etc.)... -- AnonMoos (talk) 12:49, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Need more about pre-20th century history

This article is missing discussion of, well, history. Early diplomacy through conquest, first diplomatic missions and embassies, development of international organizations... PS. Britannica [1] does it better, sigh .--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

The article you want is readily at hand at Diplomacy#History. In addition all major countries have appropriate long articles, such as History of French foreign relations. Foreign policy of Charles de Gaulle, Foreign relations of France, French Third Republic#Foreign policy, Second French Empire#Foreign policy. etc etc Rjensen (talk) 09:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. – robertsky (talk) 15:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Diplomatic history → history of diplomacy – history of diplomacy redirects here. But our naming standard is usually for "History of fooconcept", not "Fooianconceptish history". I suggest renaming it to the more common variant. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 11:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

  • @BilledMammal: had not seen this discussion before, I object. They are two separate topics and the article we currently have is for diplomatic history (as in a field of history) and would have to be substantially re-written in order to be a history of diplomacy (which is covered by a number of different fields, not just diplomatic history) Horse Eye's Back (talk) 11:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
History of diplomacy should be a redirect to Diplomacy#history not to diplomatic history. My apologies for not seeing this earlier. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 11:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Reverting close and relisting, per request from Horse Eye's Back; previous closing statement was "Moved, as an uncontested technical request. Any objection within a reasonable time frame should see the move reverted." BilledMammal (talk) 11:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
