About This Book

The author traces Europe’s transformation between 1789 and 1815, arguing that emerging ideas of popular sovereignty, nationality, and personal liberty reshaped governments and societies. A concise introductory chapter outlines these principles, followed by chronological national studies that treat the French Revolution’s continental impact, revolts such as in Belgium and Liège, administrative and military reforms in states like Prussia, and the diplomatic reordering after Napoleon, including the Congress of Vienna. Battles and campaigns are summarized sparingly while political, social, and institutional changes receive fuller treatment, connecting events to longer-term shifts in boundaries, state structures, and civil rights.

MAPS.

Map 1. Europe in 1789.
  〃   2. Europe in 1803.
  〃   3. Europe in 1810.
  〃   4. Europe in 1815.

These maps are intended to show the limits of the principal states of Europe at the beginning of 1789, after the rearrangement in 1803, at the height of Napoleon’s power in 1810, and according to the settlement made by the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

The same colouring has been preserved through the series of maps in order that the boundaries of each country may be compared at these different dates.

The red line in Map 1 marks the boundary of the Holy Roman Empire.

The area in Germany left uncoloured—in all four maps—was occupied by various states too small in size to be indicated by colours.
