~ENG~Does the relationship between revolution, war, and nationalism also apply to the countries around Europe and beyond Europe? What about the Asian part of the Soviet Union, and what about Mexico or Turkey? Based on Dieter Langewiesche’s seminal research, ten experts question one of the most influential master narratives of modern history.


War, revolution and nation: The fact that this triad accompanied the transition from the old European society to the modern state-nations of the 19th and 20th centuries is one of the basic convictions of history in the “long” 19th century.
