Each volume provides a wide-ranging overview of the period it covers.

Sufficient detail is included to ensure that a sound basic knowledge and understanding is acquired.
This title assesses the key areas of nineteenth-century European history in an accessible and progressive way. The author examines the key political, economic and social developments in Italy, Germany, France, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Issues and events such as the 1848 Revolutions, Italian and German Unification and the origins of the First World War are analysed and explained through an up-to-date narrative and carefully structured activities.
