Taking a thematic approach within a broad chronological framework, Europe from War to War looks at a central 30 year period in European History; an age of transition, an age of extremes and a period which plays a crucial role in understanding the Europe of today. Themes include war and diplomacy but also economic policy and economics from below, ideologies, industrial and social modernization, culture and religion. The volume takes a broad approach to European coverage, including areas often seen as peripheral such as the Balkans, Iberia and Scandinavia, as well as the impact of the colonies on the metropole, allowing the reader to make new connections between events and different places.
