The revolutions around the globe in the 19th century have had an
enormous impact on the course of history. To help students better
understand the major developments in the tumultuous 19th century
and their impact on the 20th century, this unique resource offers
detailed description and expert analysis of the 19th century's most
important events: The Napoleonic Era, the Congress of Vienna and
the Age of Metternich, the Latin American Wars of Independence, the
Reform Bill of 1832, the Revolutions of 1848, the Emancipation of
the Russian Serfs, the Meiji Restoration, the Unification of
Germany, Marxism and the Rise of Socialism, and Imperialism. Each
of the ten events is dealt with in a separate chapter. Designed for
students, the unique format features an introductory essay that
presents the facts, followed by an interpretive essay that places
the event in a broader context and promotes student analysis.
The introductory essay provides factual material about the event
in a clear, concise, chronological manner that makes complex
history understandable. The interpretive essay, written by a
recognized authority in the field in a style designed to appeal to
a general readership, explores the short-term and far-reaching
ramifications of the event. An annotated bibliography identifies
the most important and recent scholarship about each event. A
full-page photo of each event complements the narrative. This
volume contains four useful appendices: a glossary of names,
events, and terms; a timeline of important events in 19th-century
world history; the comparative population of selected countries in
the 19th century; and countries colonized during the Imperial
Scramble of 1870-1914. This work is an ideal addition to the high
school, community college, and undergraduate reference shelf, as
well as excellent for supplementary reading in social studies and
world history courses.
