History of Europe (1789 to 1970 A.D.) throws light on a period that marked a momentous era in the history of Europe, characterised by revolutionary upheavals, sweeping social changes and devastating conflicts. The book traces Europe's transformation, beginning with the French Revolution of 1789, which unleashed waves of political and social unrest. From the age of industrialisation and empire- building in the nineteenth century to the carnage of world wars and ideological battles in the twentieth, it follows Europe through its most defining moments. It brings to life the struggles and shifts that shaped the continent, from Cold War divisions to the fall of communism and the rise of the European Union. The volume brings together a tumultuous period of radical change, conflict and rebuilding that laid the foundation of modern Europe.
