Between the two World Wars diplomatic history replaced constitutional history as the flagship of historical investigation, at once the most important, the most exact and the most sophisticated of historical studies. After the Second World War, it looked for a time as if the ship had sunk without trace. New kinds of history, social history in particular, seemed set to replace it. What had caused the wreck?

The study of diplomatic history had not fulfilled its early promise. It had not enabled men to understand the international system so well that they could avert a further catastrophe and that hope had been a very real spur to the minute investigation which had been undertaken in the 1920s and 1930s. A generation which had endured the horrors of four years trench warfare and the terrible loss of young lives involved, gave a high priority to trying to prevent a repetition. But, in an age of nuclear deterrence, a proper understanding of foreign policy is still obviously as vital to national survival as ever. It is not the study of foreign policy which is redundant. But it is probably true that the particular type of study which dominated the inter-war period had reached its natural limits.
