A History of Eastern Europe 1740-1918: Empires, Nations and
Modernisation provides a comprehensive, authoritative account of the
region during a troubled period that finished with the First World
War. Ian Armour focuses on the three major themes that have defined
Eastern Europe in the modern period - empire, nationhood and
modernisation - whilst chronologically tracing the emergence of
Eastern Europe as a distinct concept and place. Detailed coverage is
given to the Habsburg, Ottoman, German and Russian Empires that
struggled for dominance during this time. In this exciting new
edition, Ian Armour incorporates findings from new research into the
nature and origins of nationalism and the attempts of supranational
states to generate dynastic loyalties as well as concepts of empire.
Armour's insightful guide to early Eastern Europe considers the
important figures and governments, analyses the significant events and
discusses the socio-economic and cultural developments that are
crucial to a rounded understanding of the region in that era. Features
of this new edition include: * A fully updated and enlarged
bibliography and notes * Eight useful maps * Updated content
throughout the text A History of Eastern Europe 1740-1918 is the ideal
textbook for students studying Eastern European history.
