An accessible and succinct account of the story of Europe from its
ancient foundations to the twenty-first century, The History of
Europe in Bite-sized Chunks details the events, personalities,
ideas and disasters that have shaped our continent. The book is
broken down into six easily digestible chapters: Classical
Antiquity (2600 BCE to 600 CE); Medieval (600-1500); Reform and
Enlightenment (1500-1780); Age of Revolutions (1780-1914); the Wars
(1914-45); and the Making of Contemporary Europe (1945 to present).
It begins with the first ancient culture to emerge in Europe: the
Minoans. It then proceeds chronologically to the present day,
taking in not just significant historical events but also
overarching social, technological and cultural trends and their
impact. Throughout the book there are mini-biographies of notable
individuals (such as Julius Caesar, Catherine the Great and
Napoleon Bonaparte) who have been most significant in European
history. It is also packed with amazing facts, details and maps
that will give the reader a vivid understanding of Europe’s past.
