British Empire: A Brief Introduction to the Post-war British Empire (The History and Legacy of the Rise and Fall of the Modern World's
商品資訊
商品簡介
In the Age of Exploration, the British began building an enormous and highly profitable foreign empire. While the British Empire initially lagged behind other European powers such as Spain and Portugal, it still managed to colonize the New World and discover highly-lucrative trade routes.
British colonies could be found on virtually any continent. For decades, colonialism was painted as the duty of the more advanced European civilizations. However, a darker truth lurked under the surface. Find out how Britain invaded, colonized, and ruled almost a quarter of the world's land mass.
Some of the intriguing questions you will explore include:
- Who lived in Babylonia before the Babylonians? And who were the Babylonians?
- How did Hammurabi's Law Code influence today's legal systems?
- The English civil wars and their impact on the empire
- A brief look at the Thirteen Colonies and how they achieved independence
- A guide to Britain's role in the Napoleonic Wars
- The impact of both world wars on the British empire
This history of the British Isles themselves is in part responsible. The fraternal difficulties of two neighbors so closely aligned, but so unequally endowed, can be blamed for much of the trouble. However, the British also extended that colonial duality to other great societies of the world, India not least among them, without the same enduring suspicion and hostility.
Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ireland in the early 20th century like never before.
