The Great Powers And The European States System 1814-1914 (The Modern European State System)

The Great Powers and the European States System 1814-1914 2/e presents an analytical narrative of the functioning of the European states system over the whole century between the fall of Napoleon in 1814 and the outbreak of the First World War just one hundred years later. It examines the variety of devices, manoeuvres and feats of statesmanship by means of which decision-makers managed the interplay of their interests, common and conflicting - including the dangerous Eastern Question. The second edition of this popular 19th century text is substantially expanded, making it ideal for undergraduate courses in modern European history.
