History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol 1
Author: Edward Gibbon
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1625584156
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
Gibbon offers an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell, a task made difficult by a lack of comprehensive written sources, though he was not the only historian to tackle the subject. Most of his ideas are directly taken from what few relevant records were available: those of the Roman moralists of the 4th and 5th centuries.

Alsace and Lorraine from Cæsar to Kaiser

Publisher: Ravenio Books
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
"ALSACE AND LORRAINE. During forty-three years these two names have been linked together in a neat phrase. Under that verbal yoke they passed, as the result of the fortunes of war, from one political framework to another. But the two applied to distinct entities. The gradual evolution of each into a semblance of unity out of a congeries of private estates and ecclesiastical foundations, the liege lords they acquired or found imposed upon them, mediate or immediate, the resources, characteristics, customs of each belong to different stories, though sometimes, indeed, containing similar chapters. Alsace and Lorraine were alike in being tiny buffer territories, occasionally little more than geographical expressions, wedged between big “interests.” Both have suffered as shuttlecocks under blows of battledores from the east and the west. Here are in brief the stories of each." This classic contains the following chapters: Alsace and Lorraine Alsace I. Romans, Gauls, and Others on the Soil of Alsace II. The Treaty of Verdun and Other Pacts Affecting Alsace III. The Dream of a Middle Kingdom IV. The People of Alsace in the Fifteenth Century and After V. The Thirty Years’ War and the Peace of Westphalia VI. Louis XIV. And Strasburg VII. Alsace After Annexation to France Lorraine I. Racial Elements II. When the Map Was in the Making III. The Aspirations of Burgundy IV. The New Learning V. The House of Lorraine in Europe VI. The Last Dukes of Lorraine VII. The French Revolution VIII. The Language Elsass-Lothringen I. After the Cession
