Contingency in the Historical Process. 520 Triggered into action by the shock effect of the Nazi rise to power in Germany, socialists throughout Western Europe entered an unusually active period of reorientation and debate over political strategy which helped determine the contours of European politics up to the outbreak of World War II and beyond. Stressing the transnational dimension of this process while simultaneously integrating local, regional, and national factors and focusses, this work finds that it was social democracy, rather than communism, that acted as the primary vehicle for radical change among European socialists during the 1930s. 580 The Roger Griffin ComFas Collection 650 0 Socialism |zEurope |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 National socialism. 651 0 Europe |xPolitics and government |y1918-1945. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6335_000000000000000__0094_HOR |70 |8GEN |9161071OSA |bOSA |d2022-12-02 |eComFas |l0 |o335/.0094 HOR |r2022-12-02 |w2022-12-02 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 2XbbMaXz 992 01 335_000000000000000__0094_HOR |bWWU_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ__ZZQV_IB8 966 |cIn the Research Room
