The Development of Modern Europe - From the Fall of Metternich to the Eve of World War I (Volume II of II‪)‬

Volume II of Robinson & Beard's excellent survey of the development of Europe covers the period spanning post-Congress of Vienna Europe to the eve of World War I and the ultimate implosion of European hegemony.
