From the Publisher's Note: "Magill's History of Europe surveys, in chronological order, 288 events which shaped the Western world, from the promulgation of Hammurabi's code (c. 1750 B.C,) to the negotiations surrounding European economic union in 1992. Within this framework, "Europe" is construed broadly to refer to both Eastern and Western Europe, as well as those ancient civilizations (Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African) which gave rise to many of the legal, social, and political institutions that have shaped Europe as we know it today. The type of event addressed in these six volumes range from military clashes and revolutions to legal documents, from economic and religious developments to international organizations and treaties. All, however, have in common a political thread....the evolution of European (and inevitably in the late twentieth century, international) governments, institutions, and laws." Stated First Printing of the Revised Edition of 1993.
