 Age of the Democratic Revolution by R. R. Palmer
The Age of Democratic Revolution examines the beginning of the modern world, between 1760 and 1800, when political revolutions rocked the West. Palmer examines these great revolutions and also shows how many of the Western nations began to develop in a similar democratic direction.
For the Western world as a whole, the period from about 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. It is the thesis of this major work that the American, French, and Polish revolutions, and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and other countries, though each distinctive in its own way, were all manifestations of recognizably similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts.
