This book explores European soldiersâ€™ encounters with their continent exotic frontiers from the French Revolution to the First World War.Â In numerous military expeditions to Italy, Spain, Russia, Greece and the â€˜Levantâ€™ they found wild landscapes and strange societies inhabited by peoples who needed to be â€˜civilized.â€™ Yet often they also discovered founding sites of Europe own â€˜civilizationâ€™ (Rome, Jerusalem) or decaying reminders of ancient grandeur. The resulting encounters proved seminal in forging a military version of the â€˜civilizing missionâ€™ that shaped Europe image of itself as well as its relations with its own periphery during the long nineteenth century.
