Ce volume rassemble les contributions presentees par des membres de l'Association internationale d'histoire contemporaine de l'Europe au Congres mondial des Sciences historiques a Amsterdam en 2010, d'une part sous le theme majeur du Congres : " La chute des empires " et d'autre part dans le colloque specifique de l'AIHCE : " La formation et la decomposition des Etats au 20 siecle ". La premiere partie traite des origines et des consequences de la chute des empires ottoman, allemand et italien, aussi bien sur le plan des representations et de la memoire historique que des transformations territoriales du continent. Dans la seconde partie, les contributeurs s'interessent aux limitations de la souverainete des Etats dans le processus d'Union europeenne, a la problematique de l'Etat-nation au sein de l'empire austro-hongrois, et aux reglements de paix des deux apres-guerres, en abordant notamment les cas polonais, hongrois, tcheco-slovaque et balte, ainsi que la fin de l'URSS. This volume gathers together the contributions made by members of the International Association of Contemporary History of Europe during the 2010 International Congress of Historical Sciences. A major theme of the Congress was "The Fall of Empires" and many of the chapters in the book originate from the special colloquium organized by the IACHE on "The Formation and Disintegration of European States in the 20th century". The first part of the collection deals with the origins and consequences of the falls of the Ottoman, German and Italian empires, focusing on representation and historical memory, as well as analysing the subsequent territorial changes on the continent. In the second part of the book, the contributors examine the limitations of the sovereignty of the states in the European Union, the problem of the nation-state in the Austro-Hungarian empire and the two post-war peace settlements, with particular reference to the Polish, Hungarian, Czech-Slovakian and Baltic cases, and, finally, the end of the Soviet Union.
