A Quick History of Europe (Quick Histories)

1/5 ( ratings)

No continent's history has had as much impact on the world as Europe's. The histories of other continents are just as fascinating but consider the following: billions of people on the planet now speak at least one European language; a billion people in the Americas live in cultures directly derived from European colonialism; most democratic countries live by principles developed first in ancient Greece and then in early modern Britain or France; many countries have economic, legal and civil systems derived from Europe's; liberalism, capitalism, communism, human rights, were all concepts largely developed in Europe. And yet, compared to China or India or Islam, after the great age of Antiquity, for much of its history, Europe was a remote and primitive backwater. But what is the truth of those Dark Ages, and how did Europe so spectacularly revive?

Europe's history is fascinating, its pages filled with some of the greatest characters in world history, dealing in issues and changes which have shaped the lives of almost every person alive today.

Quick Histories give you all the main points in a particular historical subject, big or small, in understandable but serious language, facts you can retain and remember. All our books can be read in an hour or two, either in one sitting, or over a few days. Quick Histories are just long enough for a plane or train journey.
