This atlas presents a picture of the march of time and history in the formative years between 1860 and 1960. Each of its 126 maps has been designed to give a broad and detailed overview. Based on a range of newspaper reports, primary historical texts and reference works, this atlas is the result of extensive research. Each of the maps are designed to help explain episodes in recent history, whether it is the growth of Balkan independence between 1822 and 1913, the Spanish Civil War or world health, illiteracy or incomes in 1960. The subject areas include not only war and battles, but also treaties, alliances, population problems and political confrontations. Each continent is given as much importance as the events determine and the result is a portrayal of a century of recent world history.
