| Sommario/riassunto: | This book by Thomas Adam explores the complex history of Germany and its evolving role in global society from 1815 to the present. Through a detailed examination of events such as the founding of the German Confederation, the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the rise of the Nazi regime, and the division and reunification of East and West Germany, the author provides insights into the social, cultural, and political transformations that have shaped modern Germany. The text delves into topics like urbanization, industrialization, and the influence of global conflicts on German history. Intended for scholars and readers interested in European history, it offers a comprehensive analysis of how German society has continuously redefined itself in response to internal and external pressures. |
