This is the first book that compares these parallel developments by focusing on the Unionist and pro-Bourbon political forces that opposed the two new nations in inner civil conflicts. Overlapping these conflicts were the social revolutions triggered by the rebellions of American slaves and Southern Italian peasants against the slaveholding and landowning elites. Utilizing a comparative perspective, Enrico Dal Lago sheds light on the reasons why these combined factors of internal opposition proved fatal for the Confederacy in the American Civil War, while the Italian Kingdom survived its own civil war. At the heart of this comparison is a desire to understand how and why nineteenth-century nations rose and either endured or disappeared.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49583451472145,"sku":"GOR012048001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482529100049,"sku":"NLS9781107038424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52746701308177,"sku":"NIN9781107038424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1107038421.jpg?v=1754476359"},{"product_id":"1916-in-global-context-book-enrico-dal-lago-9780367348915","title":"1916 in Global Context","description":"The year 1916 has recently been identified as \"a tipping point for the intensification of protests, riots, uprisings and even revolutions.\" Many of these constituted a challenge to the international pre-war order of empires, and thus collectively represent a global anti-imperial moment, which was the revolutionary counterpart to the later diplomatic attempt to construct a new world order in the so-called Wilsonian moment.

Recently, it has been enriched by the work of several scholars who combine the methodologies of comparative history and transnational history very effectively. This is the spirit behind Transnational Comparisons in Nineteenth-Century History: Theory and Case Studies, a book which emphasizes the equal value of comparative and transnational historical investigations, but which also argues that every comparative study that looks beyond one nation is intrinsically transnational.  Historians of the nineteenth century have been at the forefront of the research that has led to the current interest in both comparative and transnational approaches to the study of the past. Yet, if one wishes to write transnational comparisons focused on the nineteenth century, there are no specific guides for the methodology and practice of comparative history.  This book provides scholars, researchers, and students working on the nineteenth century with a resource for comparative history in both theoretical and practical terms. It combines a methodological introduction with specific case studies of transnational comparisons of individuals, groups, cities, events, processes, and beliefs within a Euro-American historical context.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52299564515601,"sku":"NGR9781041146773","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53069640401169,"sku":"NLS9781041146773","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041146773.jpg?v=1768040115"},{"product_id":"slave-systems-book-enrico-dal-lago-9780521881838","title":"Slave Systems","description":"A ground-breaking edited collection charting the rise and fall of forms of unfree labour in the ancient Mediterranean and in the modern Atlantic, employing the methodology of comparative history.
