However <a href="/wiki/Leopold_von_Ranke" title="Leopold von Ranke">Leopold von Ranke</a> (1795–1886), the leading German historian of the 19th century, codified the modern form of diplomatic history. Ranke wrote largely on the history of <a href="/wiki/Early_Modern_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="Early Modern Europe">Early Modern Europe</a>, using the diplomatic archives of the European powers (particularly the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Venice" title="Republic of Venice">Republic of Venice</a>) to construct a detailed understanding of the history of Europe <i>wie es eigentlich gewesen ist</i> ("as it actually happened"). Ranke saw diplomatic history as the most important kind of history to write because of his idea of the "Primacy of Foreign Affairs" (<i>Primat der Aussenpolitik</i>), arguing that the concerns of international relations drive the internal development of the state. Ranke's understanding of diplomatic history relied on using as sources the large number of official documents produced by modern western governments; he argued that historians should examine such sources in an objective and neutral spirit.<sup id="cite_ref-Matusumoto_pages_314-316_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Matusumoto_pages_314-316-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="20th_century_scholars">20th century scholars</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diplomatic_history&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 20th century scholars"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Ranke's understanding of the dominance of foreign policy, and hence an emphasis on diplomatic history, remained the dominant paradigm in historical writing through the first half of the twentieth century.
