Does anybody have any recommendations for Canadian political history (or Australian, for that matter)? Civilisation VI has introduced me to Wilfrid Laurier and I’d like to know more about the country and that whole era generally, but in the UK Canadian history is totally absent from any mainstream bookshops.
Similarly, does anyone know any good political histories for late c19th European countries, esp. France Germany and Italy? I’m talking about proper high politics, prime ministers and elections etc

The Katja Hoyer book Blood and Iron has been popular for 19th century Germany. You can hear an interview with her over on the New Books Network. https://newbooksnetwork.com/blood-and-iron
Richard Evans also has a list over on 5 books for 19th century Germany. https://fivebooks.com/best-books/nineteenth-century-germany-richard-evans/

It's not specifically focused on that period but Diplomacy, by Henry Kissinger has a chapter that goes in great depth on the high politics of that era. Highly recommended.
