This book is the last of three and continues the Historical
Geography of Europe down to the outbreak of the First World War in
1914. The previous volume ended with a survey of Europe at the time
when the Industrial Revolution began and railways were beginning to
spread across the continent. This book picks up the main threads in
the geography of Europe at this time and follows them into the
twentieth century. First, changes in the political map are
examined, because spatial variations in the role of government were
becoming increasingly important. This is followed by a review of
the physical resources of the continent and of their importance in
the growth of manufacturing and the expansion of agricultural
production.
