Survey of the 19th Century events in Europe beginning with the French Revolution/Napoleonic Era and ending with the advent of World War I written form different points of view. Many of the aspects effecting the growth and development of the nations is introduced. Blanning's contribution is a good introduction to the 19th Century that should be complimented with a more comprehensive composition.
A Worthy Collection of Worthy Essays by Worthy Historians
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
An excellent thematic approach to the social, economic, and political processes of the nineteenth century. Essential for the student of modern European history, especially for those interested in the origins of the First World War--an excellent chapter on "International Politics, Peace, and War" by Paul Schroeder.Particularly good in emphasizing that the world did not start in 1945; in order to understand the 20th century we must understand the 19th.
