Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the last in a multi-volume history of the world, covering every major civilization from the dawn of man to the end of the 19th century. In this volume, the author chronicles the history of nations in both hemispheres from the beginning of the last decade of the 19th century to its end. These accounts include the election of Benjamin Harrison, the McKinley Tariff, the Spanish-American War, and the rise of Imperialism in the United States as well as detailed histories of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and other nations. The author's approach to this era is through the lens of the significant shift in human civilization that occurred around the turn of the century. Technological and social innovations, such as the automobile and women's suffrage, along with the growing interconnectedness of the world, helped to usher society from one historical epoch to another. At the same time, serious problems such as the growth of labor unrest and the increasing militarism of nations were also defining issues of the time. This volume is important for its exploration of the complex transition from the 19th to the 20th century, providing an in-depth look at a time that set the stage for many of the challenges and advancements of the modern world.
