By emphasis

Hello Friends

I have some problem with this sentence:

If the world was dominated by emphasis, the Monarchy preferred discretion, restrained passions, a calm tone of voice.

My problem is related to the first part;

What is the meaning of "emphasis" here, and what is the meaning of "If the world was dominated by emphasis"?


Thank you for your help.
