Synopsis

Excerpt from A Short: History of Modern Europe From the French Revolution, to the Great War

This Short volume has been designed to serve as an introduction to the study of recent European History. Stress is laid throughout upon the main currents of political development, in order that the story of Europe since 1789 may present itself as an intelligible and harmonious Whole. For this purpose _the chronological method of treatment has been to a certain extent abandoned, and no attempt has been made to trace the separate development of each state, events being viewed-except in the last chapter - from a European and not from a sectional standpoint. Nor does this book make any pre tensions to serve as a compendium of information. Much that has hitherto figured prominently in his torical textbooks is omitted; attention has been confined almost entirely to those facts which best illustrate the progress of the main factors in the history of Europe from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914.
