The Rise of Prussia 1700-1830

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The rise of Prussia and its role in German development is central to eighteenth and nineteenth century European history. In this collection, the analysis goes beyond the political, military and diplomatic concerns of the Prussian elite and explains its rise in relation to Prussian society as a whole. Political analysis is integrated with material on such areas as agrarian society, urban life and religion, which are not fully examined in existing histories.
