First published in 1936, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Europe from 1715-1814. The author discusses important themes such as England in 1715; European trade in 1715; the War of the Austrian Succession; Europe and American independence; eastern factor in Europe; Napoleon and the Continental System; Europe after the fall of Napoleon and diplomacy and war in Europe. The author argues that this book is a narrative of which collective Europe, not a group of separate nations, is the hero. Wherever possible, its political biography has been followed chronologically. This is an important historical reference work for students of European history, political history, and history in general.
