In this well-known book, M S Anderson explores the major aspects of European history in the century from the Congress of Vienna to the First World War.

It gives full weight not only to political and economic factors but also to social and intellectual ones. The subjects treated in The Ascendancy of Europe include the political and economic balance of power, the mechanisms of government, armed forces and war, the movement of ideas, states and nations, and Europe and the wider world. For the second edition, Professor Anderson has reworked the text throughout and has added a completely new chapter on economic and social aspects. M S Anderson is Professor Emeritus of International History at the University of London and has written extensively on European History.
