The Ebbing of European Ascendancy by Sally Marks

The Ebbing of European Ascendancy by Sally Marks

In the space of little over thirty years, the world was transformed. Europe's great powers were no longer ascendant and the US became a 'superpower'. This book assesses what happened during that time. Stressing the role of empire and the nonwestern world, it offers a truly international picture of the period.

'Sally Marks has rendered a great service to students and general readers alike in this incisive and insightful survey of global politics in the first half of the twentieth centuryHer lively prose and shrewd judgements make it a most readable and valuable introduction to the themes of modern diplomacy, war and the relations between Europe and the wider world.' Gordon Martel, Professor of History, University of Northern British Columbia 'A most thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of how Europe's dominance of the globe dissolved in the twentieth century. Readers are carefully led through the thickets of war and diplomacy with due attention to economic and cultural factors and the perceptions - and misperceptions - of key actors as well as the public in Europe and around the world.' Gerhard L. Weinberg, Professor Emeritus, Universit 'An incisive and insightful survey of global politics in the first half of the twentieth century.' Educational Book Review 'This is a very useful introductory text, written in a lively style providing a thorough analysis of the erosion of European power in the first half of the twentieth century.'
