Independence, 1866-1881 -- Models of development -- The reign of King Charles, 1881-1914 -- Society and the economy -- The Rumanians outside Rumania -- The First World War -- The great debate -- Society and the economy, 1919-1940 -- Politics, 1919-1940 -- Foreign policy, 1919-1940 -- The Second World War, 1940-1944 -- The transition, 1944-1947.
Summary: This latest volume in the acclaimed Oxford History of Modern Europe series looks at the collapse of Communist power which has once again focused attention on the processes of nation-building in central and eastern Europe. In this comprehensive study, Keith Hitchins focuses on how Rumania's political and intellectual elites attempted to establish an independent state before the advent of Communist rule in 1947. It traces the efforts of the country's leaders to create the institutions of a modern state, to "Europeanize" without losing national identity, and to find ways of preserving independence in the international political and economic order dominated by the great powers. In his study, Hitchins emphasizes how Rumania's past history is essential to a clear understanding of its complex present and future.
