'Europe' is one of those notions which tends to exist in the eye of the beholder. Whether one is located in a wealthy Parisian suburb or in a war-devastated Balkan city makes a great deal of difference to one's perception of 'Europeanness', to say nothing of the view from the slums of Calcutta. What is more, ideas about European virtues and values change over time, and indeed they are still changing: by way of a crude example, Charlemagne's understanding of Europe diverged radically from the vision of Jean Monnet, or Romano Prodi. 'Europe' is to a large extent, therefore, what one makes it out to be, and its definition changes according to viewpoint and the period in which one finds oneself. This chapter is concerned with documenting those changes, especially those over time, which took place in Europe during the course of the twentieth century. The First World War was clearly one of the more profound events which affected perceptions of Europe, but here it will also be compared with other seismic shocks which disrupted the twentieth century
