Europe from War to War, 1914-1945 explores this age of
metamorphosis within European history, an age that played a crucial
role in shaping the Europe of today. Covering a wide range of
topics such as religion, arts and literature, humanitarian relief
during the wars, transnational feminism, and efforts to create a
unified Europe, it examines the social and cultural history of this
period as well as political, economic, military, and diplomatic
perspectives. Thematically organized within a chronological
framework, this book takes a fully comparative approach to the era,
allowing the reader to follow the evolution of key trends and ideas
across these 30 turbulent years. Each period is analyzed from both
an international and a domestic perspective, expanding the
traditional narrative to include the role and impact of European
colonies around the world while retaining a close focus on national
affairs, everyday existence within Europe itself and the impact of
the wars on people's lives. Chapters include discussion of regions
such as Scandinavia, the Balkans, and Iberia that are less
frequently covered, emphasizing the network of connections between
events and places across the continent. Global in scope, accessibly
written and illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this
is the perfect introductory textbook for all students of early
twentieth-century European history.
