Synopsis

The nineteenth century was a complex era where Europe and the United States confronted the abrupt changes of the Industrial Revolution and the growth of new political and social theories. The authors describe these transitions in chapters examining Europe's economic domination of the globe through exploration and colonialism, the Civil War, and the emergence of an industrial working class.
