Poland's partitions, Napoleon's campaigns, the rise of Prussia and the unification of Italy are all mapped in Modern European History, Charles Downer Hazen's textbook published by Henry Holt in 1917. Issued during the First World War, the book looked back at the political developments behind the conflict, so most of its maps reconstruct earlier periods rather than showing the borders of 1917. Broader sheets compare Europe before and after the great diplomatic settlements, maps of Africa, Asia and the Americas follow European expansion overseas, and an ethnographic map of Austria-Hungary uses the period's language for the empire's peoples.
