THE LONG 19TH CENTURY

'The Long 19th Century', defined by Eric Hobsbawm, a British Marxist historian and author, refers to the period between the years 1789 and 1914.
That period begins with the French Revolution, which established a nonmonarchial republic in Europe, to the beginnings of World War I. Upon the conclusion of World War I late in 1918, many of the fashions and territorial agreements of the 19th century proper (1801—1900) were eliminated.
Hobsbawm lays out this theory in three books, ''The Age of Revolution : Europe 1789-1848'', ''The Age of Capital : Europe 1848-1875'', and ''The Age of Empire : Europe 1875-1914''
The sequel ''Age of Extremes'', covers The Short 20th Century
