Introduction to the Quest of Nations
This book provides an accessible introduction and analysis of the global history of the first era of industrial globalization.
The era began after the Napoleonic Wars and collapsed in the maelstrom of the First World War. By combining industrialization, technological innovation, and the rise and fall of empires, the world's industrialized powers shaped an interconnected global space that left few regions untouched. In ten concise chapters, the book Chronicles the major shifts in the global economy and society during this period, outlining the interconnections between global industrial, imperial, and economic change and local experience and identity. Finally, the book reveals the devastating impact of the First World War on the global system.
This book weaves together the histories of industrialization, the world economy, imperialism, international law, diplomacy, and war that historians often regard as separate developments, and brings them together in a new analysis of an era of fundamental historical change. The revolutionary changes in politics, society and international affairs in the 19th century were interrelated developments. This book is essential reading for any scholar of modern global history.
