The George Louis Beer Prize
FOR 2010
The American Historical Association offers the George Louis Beer Prize in recognition of outstanding historical writing in European international history since 1895.

The phrase "European international history since the year 1895" may be understood to mean any study of international history since the year 1895 with a significant European dimension.
