Europes American Revolution

This volume of essays explores how the American Revolution has been constructed, defined and understood by Europeans from the 1770s up until the present day. From Scotland to Spain, and from Hungary to France, the American Revolution has meant different things and been used, or at time ignored, for different reasons. The actions and the achievements of the American Patriots continue to resonate in early-twenty-first-century Europe, but this is the first in-depth comparative study of this process.
