After more than a century of controversy, the various views have been reduced to three — The Variagi were of Scandinavian origin, and it was they who gave the name of Russia to the Slav countries. A most weighty argument in support of this theory is the large ... Read more

  • A Short History of Russia (1907)

    by Mary Platt Parmele ...
    First published in 1907. According to the Preface: "If this book seems to have departed from the proper ideal of historic narrative--if it is the history of a Power, and not of a People--it is because the Russian people have had no history yet. There has been no evolution of a Russian nation, but only of a vast governing system; and the words "Russian Empire" stand for a majestic world-power in ... Read more

  • The History of Poland

    by S.A. Dunham ...

Whether they are derived from the Sarmatians, who, though likewise of Asiatic origin, were located on both sides of the Vistula long before the irruptions of the kindred barbarians, ... Read more

  • The Thirty Years War

    by Samuel Gardiner ...
    It was the misfortune of Germany in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that, with most of the conditions requisite for the formation of national unity, she had no really national institutions. There was an emperor, who looked something like an English king, and a Diet, or General Assembly, which looked something like an English Parliament, but the resemblance was far greater in appearance ...

  • A Short History of Romania

    by James Samuelson ...
    Although the earliest authentic records of Romania or, more correctly speaking, of Dacia, the Roman province which embraced Romania, Transylvania, and some adjoining territories of to-day, do not reach further back than about the century immediately preceding the Christian era, a good deal of information is to be gathered from the writings of Herodotus, Dion Cassius, and other early historians ...

  • History of the Cossacks

    by William Cresson ...
