About This Book

A concise chronological survey presents the major international conflicts of the nineteenth century and the treaties that settled them. Each entry gives a brief outline of the occasion, underlying causes, principal developments, and outcomes, arranged for quick reference. An introduction examines patterns behind recurring hostilities, distinguishing immediate pretexts from deeper political tensions and noting shifts such as the rise of national aspirations and the waning of religious and purely dynastic motives. The volume also supplies an index of treaties and a bibliography to guide further research.
