The Great Democracies
by Winston S. Churchill Author
Fourth volume of A History of the English Speaking Peoples. The nineteenth century was a period of purposeful, progressive, enlightened, tolerant civilisation. The stir in the world arising from the French Revolution, added to the Industrial Revolution unleashed by the steam-engine and many key inventions, led inexorably to the democratic age.
