The fragmentation (tan thành từng mảnh) of Central Europe was perceived by Richelieu as a political and military necessity. The basic threat to France was strategic, not metaphysical (lý thuyết, siêu hình, trừu tượng) or religious: a united Central Europe would be in a position to dominate (thống trị) the rest of the Continent. Hence it was in France’s national interest to prevent the consolidation (hợp nhất) of Central Europe: “If the [Protestant] party is entirely ruined, the brunt (gánh nặng chủ yếu, sức mạnh chính) of the power of the House of Austria will fall on France.” France, by supporting a plethora of small states in Central Europe and weakening Austria, achieved its strategic objective.
