Description
Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem Ende der Großreiche: Noch vor einem Jahrhundert war Europa von Kolonialmächten dominiert und die Mehrzahl der nichteuropäischen Länder wurde von europäischen Kolonialreichen regiert. Warum und wie sind die Großreiche zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zerbrochen und welche Traditionen blieben in der Erinnerung der zentral- und osteuropäischen Bevölkerung? Diese Fragen, die im Mittelpunkt des Bandes stehen, sind auch heute noch für die politische Situation etwa auf dem Balkan relevant.
