As the new title reflects, Palmer´s A History of Europe in the Modern World maintains its well-established historical authority, while focusing more specifically on Europe´s prominent role in modern global exchanges, nation building, transnational commercial systems, colonial empires, and cultural transitions. Combining concise accounts of specific nations and national differences with a wide-ranging, comparative analysis of international events, this updated edition of a classic text carefully examines the whole modern history of Europeans and their perpetually changing societies.
