"European Political Facts of the Twentieth Century gives details of the international organizations to which European countries have belonged or do belong. It names the Heads of State for the period concerned and gives information on each country's parliament, ministers, elections and parties. Justice is covered, as are defence and treaties. Dependencies of the leading European countries are listed and the present status of these dependencies or former dependencies is given. Wherever possible, data have been recorded for all European countries, from the Atlantic to the Urals. The outcome is a fascinating and unique work of reference of value to teachers, students, journalists and anyone who needs readily available information on Europe since 1900."--BOOK JACKET.
