Reviews
'Ranging from the Roman Empire to the European Union, De Peuter and Vanthemsche's richly detailed history provides a panoramic view of the evolution of the country that Stefan Zweig called the 'crossroads of Europe.' Engaged with contemporary debates on European and national Belgian identity, this is a masterpiece of historical synthesis.' Carl J. Strikwerda, The College of William and Mary in Virginia, 'A remarkable feat of synthesis. This volume provides an excellent modern history of the territories in north-west Europe which, having experienced many different forms of rule - local and imperial, religious and secular - were brought together as the nation and state of Belgium after 1830.' Martin Conway, University of Oxford

Synopsis
The small and densely populated nation of Belgium has played an important role in the history of Europe and other continents, especially Africa. It was a pioneering force in industry, trade, and finance during the Middle Ages, through early modern times and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It introduced innovative political regimes and played a leading role in the creative arts. Yet this rich past is not widely known. This introductory history offers an accessible and rigorous overview of this small but important West-European country, synthesizing Belgium's main economic, social, political, and cultural developments from pre-Roman times until today. Today, this nation-state, born in 1830, is well-known for the rivalries between its two main language communities, and as a result is often considered a fragile or even an artificial political construct. This systematic chronological analysis of both present-day Belgium and the polities that preceded it throws fresh light on this controversial issue and demonstrates Belgium's enduring importance and influence., The nation-state of Belgium, born in 1830, and the polities that preceded it, have played an important role in European and even global history. This introductory history offers an accessible and rigorous overview of this small but important West-European country, from ancient times to the present.

- l***c (227)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2908)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
