Curated Public-Domain Modern History - PIIQQ Modern History Library

PIIQQ Modern History Library — 99 Books, 138 Authors

This library brings together 99 public-domain works on modern history, from the late 18th to the early 20th century. The collection is organized around four themes: Revolutions, Modern Nations, Social History, and World Events. These paths are not rigid; a single work may appear under more than one category, reflecting its multiple contexts. Readers can enter through the upheavals in France, Russia, or the American Civil War, follow personal narratives from the battlefield, or track global conflicts like World War I. Each record includes edition facts, source attribution to Project Gutenberg, and a note providing historical and stylistic context, helping you locate primary and secondary sources for research or general reading.
