Set against an international backdrop of regional revanchist, revisionist and irredentist tendencies, particularly in Hungary and Bulgaria, the book explores how these movements affected international relations in the region as they aimed to overturn the territorial order set down in Versailles following the Great War to restore the status quo of a more glorious national past. Offering fresh insights into the British-East Central and South East European relationship, the book charts the shifts in British official policy towards Danubian Europe, amidst competing regional nationalisms and the sudden and abrupt shifts in British global priorities during the early part of World War II. Andras Becker is a historian of modern Europe, and a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA. He previously studied history at the University of Southampton, UK, and is interested in 'Great Power' rivalries within Danubian Europe and the Balkans during the first half of the twentieth century.Britain and the World,2947-7190Great BritainHistoryEurope, CentralHistoryInternational relationsHistoryWorld politicsWorld War, 1939-1945History of Britain and IrelandHistory of Germany and Central EuropeDiplomatic and International HistoryPolitical HistoryHistory of World War II and the HolocaustGreat BritainHistory.Europe, CentralHistory.International relationsHistory.World politics.World War, 1939-1945.History of Britain and Ireland.History of Germany and Central Europe.Diplomatic and International History.Political History.History of World War II and the Holocaust.940.5341327.41043709043Becker Andras847332Evans R.
