Abstract

The system of international relations has its own history, so until the middle of the 17th century, international relations were characterized by the disunity of their participants, the lack of system of international interactions, the main manifestation of which were short-term armed conflicts or long wars. At different periods, the historical hegemons in the world were Ancient Egypt, the Persian Empire, the Empire of Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Empire of Charlemagne, the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, etc. All of them were focused on establishing their sole domination, building a unipolar world. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church, headed by the papal throne, tried to establish its domination over peoples and states. International relations were anarchic in nature and were characterized by great uncertainty. As a result, each participant in international relations was forced to take steps based on the unpredictability of the behavior of other participants, which led to open conflicts. It is precisely the consideration of these issues that is the goal of this article.
