Europe endured such incessant political discord throughout the twentieth century that some historians refer to the period's conflicts as the Long War. During the Balkan wars of 1912--1913, regional fighting in southeastern Europe ignited conflict across the continent that continued through both world wars and the Cold War. In Consumed by War: European Conflict in the 20th Century, Richard C. Hall illuminates the complex diplomatic and military struggles of a region whose instability, rooted in a nineteenth-century nationalistic fervor, provided a catalyst for the political events that ensued. From the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 to the incarceration of Radovan Karadzic in 2008, this narrative history appeals to general readers and scholars interested in a fresh interpretation of a complicated and brutal era.

During the first two-thirds of the 20th century, the themes of sectorial structure and compared performance prevail in Italian economic historiography. This book acts as a bridge between the two approaches, and reconstructs - through an original study based on a plurality of methodologies - the secular journey of Italian industrial enterprise

Der Band bietet einen Überblick über die politischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen der Weltgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts, von der Industrialisierung bis heute.Das 20. Jahrhundert setzt mit der Unfähigkeit der europäischen Mächte ein, das Ende der Expansionsmöglichkeiten in ferne Peripherien zu akzeptieren. Die imperialistischen Aggressionen, die Deutschland gegen Osteuropa, Japan gegen Ostasien richteten, scheitern 1945. Die Hegemonie der USA wird gefestigt. Der "Kalte Krieg" zwischen den Westmächten und dem Ostblock führt schließlich zu maßloser Hochrüstung und Gefährdung der gesamten Menschheit. Der Versuch, im Sozialismus ein rationaleres und mehr Gleichheit verwirklichendes Gegenmodell zum Kapitalismus zu entwickeln, scheitert als Diktatur einer Partei und endete 1990. Das 20. Jahrhundert ist durch vielfältige Emanzipationen, außerordentliche Erfindungen und eine schnelle Globalisierung, aber auch durch wachsende Ungleichheit, Genozide und Vertreibungen, unsichere und multiple Identitäten, Terrorismus und einen ungezügelten Verbrauch von Umwelt gekennzeichnet. Der Wiederaufstieg Indiens und Chinas sowie neue Hoffnung für Afrika und Lateinamerika bestimmen den Jahrtausendwechsel.

Lange war man bemüht, jegliche Subjektivität aus dem Schreiben von Geschichte auszuschließen. Kulturhistorische und andere Neuansätze der Geschichtswissenschaft haben jedoch deutlich gemacht, dass wir letztlich immer auch vor dem Hintergrund unserer eigenen Lebenserfahrungen und der uns verfügbaren Geschichten anderer Menschen argumentieren. Eine Möglichkeit, die Summe solcher Lebenserfahrungen und Geschichten zu kategorisieren, erschließt sich über den Begriff der Generation bzw. Generationalität.

This book provides a look into the lives, crimes, and executions of women during the 20th and 21st centuries. The purpose is not to condone the actions of these women, but to suggest that those we executed are, in fact, humans_rather than monsters, as they are often portrayed

'Every bit as good as the beer itself.' Sir Richard Branson From selling the first cases of Cobra out of the back of a battered old Citroen 2CV along the streets of West London to exporting to over 40 countries around the world, Karan Bilimoria's vision of a less gassy beer has travelled a long way. Starting out with a heap of student debt, a complete lack of industry experience and parents desperate for their son to get a proper job, it could all so easily have gone wrong. But Karan's single-minded determination to succeed and his ability to inspire those around him to buy into his vision, tu
