Produktbeschreibung

The European empires as they existed from the Age of Discovery until after the First World War shaped the modern world. Covering every aspect relating to the process of empire-building by the European powers, this volume complements the Longman Companion to European Decolonisation in the Twentieth Century by the same author. Together they help to explain why different empires had different philosophies, dissolved in different ways, and left different legacies.
