Themes in Modern European History,

1890 – 1945

1945 brings together an

international team of scholars to address an eclectic range of develop-

ments and issues in European history in the period between 1890 and

the end of World War Two. This lively collection of essays adopts a

thematic approach in order to explore comprehensively a period of

great change and upheaval in Europe.

Concentrating on the main powers in Europe, from Germany, Italy

and Russia to the UK and France, the book links developments in

society, the economy, politics and culture, and establishes them in their

political framework. Commissioned chapters discuss key issues including:

–

popular culture

the relationship between East and West

intellectual and cultural trends

the origins and impact of two world wars

communism, dictatorship and liberal democracy

the relationship of Europe with the wider world.

Including a chronology and maps, as well as suggestions for further

reading, this comprehensive volume is an invaluable and authoritative

resource for students of modern European history.
