Abstract

Numerous historians have offered explanations for both Europe's response to the American Civil War as well as motivations behind Europe's refusal to extend recognition to the Confederacy and/or militarily intervene in the war. All previously published explanations included in this thesis are plausible, credible and most likely valid. Therefore, this thesis argues that the historiographical explanations offered, prior to now, have been far too narrowly focused and therefore too myopic to provide a proper, comprehensive explanation. This multivariate historiographic analysis will attempt to provide a more panoramic viewpoint from which readers may understand the European perspective which led to Europe's responses to the American crisis. The historiographic arguments presented are found in numerous fields or academic study including history, law, economics and political science.
