📱 eBook en inglés THE LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY: A HISTORY OF EUROPE FROM 1789 TO 1918 (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Spanning from the French Revolution of 1789 to the armistice of 1918, The Long Nineteenth Century traces Europes passage from ancien régime to mass politics. Hazen integrates statecraft with social and economic change—industrialization, nationalism, liberalism, imperialism—within a lucid chronological arc: the Congress system, 1848, Italian and German unifications, fin‑de‑siècle tensions, and the slide to war. In sober, didactic prose typical of early twentieth‑century syntheses, narrative and analysis are kept in judicious balance. Charles Downer Hazen, an American historian writing in the shadow of the Great War, combined classroom clarity with a diplomatists eye. His experience of 1914–1918 and long engagement with European political history impelled him to explain how revolutionary ideals, institutions, and power politics interacted from Napoleon to the collapse of empires. Recommended to students and general readers seeking a coherent survey, and to scholars interested in historiography, this book provides a reliable map of Europes modern transformation. Read it for its crisp exposition, careful periodization, and causal argumentation, and as a springboard to later social, cultural, and transnational reinterpretations.
