Highlighting the key events, ideas, and individuals that have
shaped modern Europe, this fresh and lively book provides a concise
history of the continent from the Enlightenment to the present.
Drawing on the enduring theme of revolution, David S. Mason
explores the political, economic, and scientific causes and
consequences of revolution; the development of human rights and
democracy; and issues of European identity and integration. He
deliberately avoids a detailed chronology of every country and time
period, instead emphasizing the most crucial events in shaping
contemporary Europe. Fourteen focused chapters address such topical
issues as the Enlightenment; the French Revolution and Napoleon;
the Industrial Revolution; the theories and impact of Marx and
Darwin; the revolutions of 1848, 1917, and 1989; the unifications
of Germany and Italy; European imperialism; the two world wars; the
Cold War; the evolution and expansion of the European Union; and
current issues confronting Europe. Any reader who wants to view the
broad sweep of European history will find this book an engaging
narrative, supplemented with maps, timelines, sidebars, photos, and
a glossary.
