Europe on the path to self-destruction: nationalism and the struggle for hegemony, 1815-1945

Zusammenfassung: | "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.""-- |

Societal achievements, 1914-1945 -- Chapter notes -- Bibliography -- Index "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.""-- Geschichte 1815-1945 gnd rswk-swf Hegemonie (DE-588)4023979-2 gnd rswk-swf Nationalismus (DE-588)4041300-7 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 gnd rswk-swf Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 gnd rswk-swf Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 gnd rswk-swf Europe / History / 1815-1871 Europe / History / 1871-1918 Europe / History / 1918-1945 World War, 1914-1918 / Europe World War, 1939-1945 / Europe Nationalism / Europe / History Hegemony / Europe / History Europe / Economic conditions Europe / Politics and government HISTORY / Europe / General Economic history Hegemony Nationalism Politics and government Europe 1815-1945 History Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 g Nationalismus (DE-588)4041300-7 s Hegemonie (DE-588)4023979-2 s Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 s Wirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4066438-7 s Geschichte 1815-1945 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-4766-4685-5 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033841266&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
