Zusatztext All in all, the book presents much more than a general overview of European history. It successfully offers a transnational history of Europe rather than an aggregation of parallel national histories while conveying the political and cultural differences that characterized Western and Eastern Europe at the time. Moreover, it assigns great importance to Europes entanglement with the wider world, be it through imperialism or relations of diplomacy and war. It will therefore be indispensable reading for students and scholars of modern Europe.
