The Emergence of the Modern European World by Edward Whiting Fox

The Emergence of the Modern European World by Edward Whiting Fox

The Emergence of the European World is a narrative history of Europe, and of four centuries in which the European nations so extended their influence that for much of the period the world could very largely be described as European. The story encompasses the great revolutions in England, America, France and Russia; the rise of the European and American democracies; the acquisition and loss of Empire; demographic transition and the industrial revolution; and the wars almost constantly fought, either directly or by proxy, which at various times so critically changed the course of human history. Covers four centuries of Europe's and the European world's crucial expansion. The first book for twenty years by one of America's most distinguished historians. Links the perspectives of culture and environment to those of economics and politics. Covers four centuries of Europe's and the European world's crucial expansion.
