Inhaltsangabe:
This new edition of the "Chambers Dictionary of World History" contains comprehensive coverage of the key figures and events of world history. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect recent world events, it contains an in depth focus on the period 1000-2000. From the ANC to the XYZ affair, the North-West rebellion to the South Sea bubble, and Waterloo to Watergate, this dictionary marks the milestones. Its coverage embraces the Norman Conquest and Normandy Campaign; Vietnam and Vichy; the Wars of the Roses and the Hundred Flowers Campaign; the Prague Spring and the Winter War; the Black Hundreds and the Red Brigades. The roll-call of historical figures runs from Kalashnikov to Kaunda, Nasser to Nimitz, Saladin to Sitting Bull, Cortes to Clinton. The format is an A-Z listing of over 7,500 entries, with sixty mini-essays on topics covering history prior to AD 1000. Forty tables of information list the members of important dynasties, and over twenty five family trees of the monarchic dynasties of Europe. All countries of the world have a brief and concise entry, together with a map to show their geographical setting.
