Between the years 1815 and 1945, Europe achieved unrivaled global
dominance, only to see it shattered by two world wars. This
frenetic rise and fall was attended by immense societal change. In
1815, Europe remained largely agricultural and dependent upon
horsepower. By 1945, the power of the atom had been unleashed. Two
industrial revolutions occurred in the interim-the first founded
upon coal, iron and steam, the second upon oil, steel, electricity
and internal combustion. The implications for humanity were
profound. This concise yet comprehensive study is divided into
three sections. The first documents the rise of the modern
nation-state, the second chronicles the expansion of empire and the
rush towards imperialism, while the third section details the
cataclysmic world wars that destabilized the continent and bent
nations towards totalitarianism. By tracing the events and
undercurrents that shaped a vital period in European history, this
work offers trenchant insights for the lay reader and the student
of history alike.
