He then traces its development to its zenith in 1919, its death in 1945, and its resurrection in 1989. Viewed through the political necessities of the nation state, the tumultuous events of the twentieth century and the recent rekindling of sentiments at the heart of those events take on a fresh perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eNations and Arms: From the Revolution to the Restoration\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Concert of Nations and the Border Empires\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo Revolutions: 1830 and 1848\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Birth of States Founded on Plebiscites: France, Italy, Germany\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Age of Bismarck: The Balance of Power and the Nationalization of Modern States\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eEurope and Its Colonies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eEurope Between Two Centuries: The Frustrated Ambitions of the Nation-States\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Eve of the First World War: Crises on Europe’s Borders\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Logic of War: From Versailles to Hitler\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Inevitable War: From Hitler’s Europe to the Europe of the “Democracies”\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Repression of Nationalism and the Return to Empire\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Return to Versailles: The Small Fatherlands and the Dissolution of the Soviet Empire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tSelect Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex of Names\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041408024919,"sku":"9781571810762","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571810762.jpg?v=1750950149","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-outline-of-european-history-from-1789-to-1989-9781571810762","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
