Modern European history

Modern European history (1800s to present) is a story of rapid change, marked by industrialization, political revolutions, and global conflicts. It includes the rise and fall of empires, like the British and Austro-Hungarian, and the spread of democracy. Key events are the World Wars, which reshaped borders and society, and the Cold War divide between East and West Europe. Post-World War II, Europe focused on rebuilding, unity, and economic growth, leading to the European Union. This history reflects Europe's complex struggle for stability, identity, and influence amidst innovation, conflict, and cooperation.
