Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores 50 years of European history, casting an eye back at the start of 'Jubilee' year in 1887 and considers key changes and events from 1837 to 1887. It looks in particular at the shifting political and international landscape across the period through the lens of border and regime changes. The author discusses the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires alongside the growth of national consciousness and the push for independence. They examine the complex interplay between internal and external factors that shaped the continent and question to what extent ideas of dominion and imperial expansion both fuelled and came into conflict with calls for self-determination and calls for national fraternity. This book is a fascinating insight into the making and unmaking of nations, examining the roots and effects of territorial change, and the tension between concepts of national and imperial identity, massively influential throughout this period of European history.
