However, under close scrutiny, a particular tension becomes obvious: a tension between convergent and divergent tendencies that is at the heart of every attempt to imagine and write European history.

In a third step, the article sketches the potential of an approach by focusing on a specific case study: the comparison of the multi -ethnic empires of Habsburg, Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire in the long nineteenth century. In conclusion, the final part presents a number of preliminary methodological hypotheses of the writing of European history
