A History of Europe in the Modern World delves into how Europe's history has contributed to the development of the modern world and an increasingly global society. The twelfth edition of this classic text links specific nations, movements, and landmark events in European history to broader historical themes and problems that have shaped the contemporary era. Readers of this text will learn about Europe's past within the context of key historical trends, including the rise of industry and a global economy; the development of science, technology, and new forms of knowledge; social, cultural, and political movements; evolving views of human rights; and the complex relations between European nations and the wider world.
A more concise text focuses on the interactions between Europeans and people in other cultures without attempting to cover the whole modern world.
A more streamlined account of European imperialism and anticolonial movements discusses the creation and overthrow of Europes modern imperial systems.
The discussion of the European Union and NATO has been revised to include summaries of recent challenges and changes.
An updated bibliography includes numerous recent historical books and useful web sites that may be consulted for research and reliable information.
A new series of Historical Interpretations and Debates uses brief excerpts from the writings of influential historians to show how historical knowledge develops over time, how historians disagree about the meaning of past events, and how historical thinking requires analytical comparisons of different points of view.
The clear and flowing prose style remains a distinctive feature of the narrative.
The analysis of social, cultural, and intellectual history continues to broaden the accounts of political and economic changes in European societies.
The descriptions of major revolutions, military conflicts, and influential political events remain important components of the narrative.
The maps, charts, chronological tables, and lists of rulers and regimes offer informative supplements to the themes of the text.

The changing conceptions of knowledge, science, political rights, and cultural identities are explained for every era in modern European history.
