Revolution, Krieg Und Die Geburt Von Staat Und Nation

War, revolution and nation: The fact that this triad accompanied the transition from the old European society to the modern state-nations of the 19th and 20th centuries is one of the basic convictions of history in the "long" 19th century. In the "Age of Revolutions," the ideas of freedom and equality, with their power to shatter the system, gave a completely different era their name. But does the relationship between war, revolution and nationalism also apply to the countries around Europe and beyond Europe? What about the Asian part of the Soviet Union, and what about Mexico or Turkey? Based on Dieter Langewiesche's seminal research, ten experts question one of the most influential master narratives of modern history.
