Das Neue Bayern von 1800 bis zur Gegenwart. Teilbd.1

With the current volume IV,I, the complete revision of Spindler's Handbook of Bavarian History continues. It provides an impressive overview of the state and political development of Bavaria from the establishment of the modern Bavarian state under King Max I at the beginning of the 19th century to the terms of office of the ministers-president Strauss, Streibl, and Stoiber. Renowned experts in Bavarian history describe in detail key events from 200 years of German history in their specifically Bavarian context - such as the rise of Napoleon's power, the Vormärz period, the 1848 Revolution, the founding of the German Empire in 1871, the time of the World Wars, the Revolution and Fascism, as well as the post-war period and the economic and political recovery that Bavaria has experienced up to the present day. It becomes clear that Bavaria has always been and remains an independent and influential factor in German history.
