Excerpt from Leading Figures in European History There are many people who, while genuinely interested in history, have never, either from want of time or opportunity, read a consecutive history of Europe. They have a general idea of certain periods like the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Revolution. With these epochs they connect the names of certain great men which are practically on everybody's lips: but, when they come to think about it, they find they have a very shadowy idea of their lives and characters. It was suggested to me that here lay a want which might be supplied by means of a book containing a series of biographies which more or less covered the whole of European history. Consequently, in writing this book my object has been to present to the general reader, and to the student busily engaged with other subjects, a succession of sketches of the leading figures of the past, illustrating the growth of ideas and principles which have contributed to form present-day Europe.

Place names are a window into the history and characteristics of a country. Their names reflect the migrations of peoples, their religious and cultural traditions, local languages, conquests and fortifications long since disappeared. They also reflect the topography and industrial development of a place. The text is ordered by country alphabetically. The book will include a historical section, putting the place name into context, and references those events, which have had an impact on the geography of a country, and those foreign influences, which have played a part in shaping the place name. This volume is confined to the 38 countries of Europe, together with Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Cyprus and the Vatican City. All place names of cities and towns of particular importance and interest are included. Detailed maps accompany the text to illustrate change and evolution.

Excerpt from Tables of European History, Literature, Science, and Art, From A. D. 200 to 1888; And of American History, Literature, and Art V. An attempt has been made to indicate the importance of the author, potentate, or event by the size of the type. The accuracy of the judgment in this case must remain matter of Opinion. I am responsible in the columns of History and Litera ture my better informed Coadjutors in those of Science and Art. In the last two European Tables, largely concerned with contemporaries, a distinction which might be invidious has been abandoned, and all living writers or artists are printed in the same ordinary type. A rule has been made to include only those whose reputation has been established for at least ten years. In crowded departments of literature, as Romance, only representative names have been selected. A few are inserted rather in deference to popular judgment than in accordance with my own estimate. VI. Several names being repeated, sometimes at no great intervals, it has been considered essential to the pictorial representation aimed at, to distinguish by different colours, those associated with different nations. Practical obstacles have restricted the application of this rule; but it is hoped that the result will, even by the appear ance of the pages, convey some indication of the historic issues at stake. VII. When a writer has been very prominent in two departments, as of Science and Philosophy, or Literature and Art, as in the case of Leonardo da Vinci, Leibnitz, Descartes, and Pascal, his name appears in two columns. When his eminence in one eclipses that of his reputation in another, he appears, as in the case of Bacon and Galileo, only in that where he was pre - eminent. In rare instances a great name has been inserted, Slightly out of its exact place, at the head of the period which the author's influence seems to have dominated. The reception of the earlier editions has made me sensible at once of the utility of an undertaking, involving an amount of labour only inferior to that of compiling a dictionary, and of the hazards to which it is exposed. To many of my critics I am indebted for corrections of mistakes almost inevitable, and for supplying sometimes serious omissions. Others have made of an obviously rapid survey occasion to air crotchets, as that which regards it as a crime to speak of Ancient History, or of Charlemagne. It seems needful to state that the phrase English Literature here signifies Literature originating in England, and that in power indicates the period of a politician's greatest influence, in or out of office. To avoid cavil I now append the dates of the chief Prime Ministers, with the protest that I can only record the Chief. For details which, as expressly stated, are excluded from the design of the work, I refer my readers to the Annual Register.

The period spanning the two World Wars was unquestionably the most catastrophic in Europe's history. Despite such undeniably progressive developments as the radical expansion of women's suffrage and rising health standards, the era was dominated by political violence and chronic instability. Its symbols were Verdun, Guernica, and Auschwitz. By the end of this dark period, tens of millions of Europeans had been killed and more still had been displaced and permanently traumatized. If the nineteenth century gave Europeans cause to regard the future with a sense of optimism, the early twentieth century had them anticipating the destruction of civilization. The fact that so many revolutions, regime changes, dictatorships, mass killings, and civil wars took place within such a compressed time frame suggests that Europe experienced a general crisis. The Oxford Handbook of European History, 1914-1945 reconsiders the most significant features of this calamitous age from a transnational perspective. It demonstrates the degree to which national experiences were intertwined with those of other nations, and how each crisis was implicated in wider regional, continental, and global developments. Readers will find innovative and stimulating chapters on various political, social, and economic subjects by some of the leading scholars working on modern European history today.
