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