There are also chapters on political and military history covering the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, the post-Napoleonic period, the revolutions of 1848-1849, the unification of Germany, Bismarckian Germany and Wilhelmine Germany, and Germany during the First World War.This new edition, which retains the helpful further reading suggestions for each chapter and a chronology, has been completely updated to take account of recent historiography. The statistical data has been expanded, more maps and images have been introduced, and there are two new chapters on transnational approaches and gender history. Finally, the editor has added a conclusion which reflects on the key developments in the history of Germany over the long nineteenth century.Providing clear su\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of the 19th century, the Germans forged a nation. Yet building the nation state was only one part of a process of reorganizing society and reconnecting people nationally and trans-nationally. With great conceptual clarity and a wealth of information, this book charts how the Germans made sense of the modern world that emerged around them. * Benjamin Ziemann, Professor of Modern German History, University of Sheffield, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis sparkling collection of essays has a distinguished pedigree, and now it has been thoroughly updated with new authors and new ideas. All chapters address compelling debates about the transformations of German life from the French Revolution to the First World War, putting the lie to lamentations that the 19th century is somehow vanishing from writing on German and European history. Breuilly’s conclusion challenges readers to reconsider the social, economic, cultural and political changes that made Germany into one of the most modern—and restless—nations on earth. * James Retallack, Professor of History and German Studies, University of Toronto, Canada *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations List of Maps List of Tables and Graphs Preface (2nd Edition, 2019) Preface (1st Edition, 2001) 1.
