About This Book

The author surveys the political and diplomatic evolution of European states in the decades after 1870, tracing how wars, unification processes, alliance-building, imperial rivalries, and competition in armaments reshaped national boundaries and power balances. The narrative examines key crises and treaties, the interplay of domestic politics and foreign policy, and persistent regional disputes that heightened tensions in southeastern Europe. Closing chapters cover developments from 1900 to 1914 and contend that unresolved territorial questions together with escalating military competition were major factors leading to the catastrophic conflict of 1914.
