Description
The revolutions around the globe in the 19th century have had an enormous impact on the course of history. To help students better understand the major developments in the tumultuous 19th century and their impact on the 20th century, this unique resource offers detailed description and expert analysis of the 19th century's most important events: The Napoleonic Era, the Congress of Vienna and the Age of Metternich, the Latin American Wars of Independence, the Reform Bill of 1832, the Revolutions of 1848, the Emancipation of the Russian Serfs, the Meiji Restoration, the Unification of Germany, Marxism and the Rise of Socialism, and Imperialism. Each of the ten events is dealt with in a separate chapter. Designed for students, the unique format features an introductory essay that presents the facts, followed by an interpretive essay that places the event in a broader context and promotes student analysis.
Reviews:
-
At present this series offers two titles: the first presented 20th century events. Both are excellent and thorough choices for world history or social studies classes....Highly recommended.
—The Book Report
-
Brief information on these events can be found in any encyclopedia, but these readable overviews put the events in context. Librarians should keep this series in mind for the student who needs more information about a world event than an encyclopedia can provide but who doesn't want to read an entire book on the subject.
