J. Holland Rose, a Cambridge historian of Napoleon, first published The Development of the European Nations in 1905, and this fifth edition of 1915 carries the story to the outbreak of the First World War with three supplementary chapters. Beginning with the causes of the Franco-German War and the battles of Wörth, Gravelotte and Sedan, Rose follows the founding of the French Republic and the German Empire, the Eastern Question and the making of Bulgaria, the Triple and Dual Alliances, Britain in Egypt and the Sudan, the partition of Africa and Russia in the Far East, ending with the struggle between Teuton and Slav and the crisis of 1914. It is a clear history written close to events. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
