History of the Colonial Empire of Great Britain (Classic Reprint)
Author: Browne H. E. Roberts
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781330455630
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Colonial Empire of Great Britain The Colonial Empire of Great Britain has now existed for so long a period, and has assumed such vast proportions, that some account of its origin, and of the various fluctuations to which it has been subjected in the progress of the last three centuries, cannot be otherwise than useful and, I hope, acceptable to the reading portion of our countrymen. The interests, moreover, of our colonies are so closely linked with those of the mother country, and they have become so essential a part of her riches and power, that the later history of England can never be properly appreciated without a competent knowledge of the subject.

The Development of the British Empire
Author: Howard Robinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Great Britain
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Robinson wrote this book to introduce American students to an important part of history that wasn't taught extensively at schools and colleges in the United States. The author discusses the growth of Great Britain, with particular emphasis on recent years, as progress had been quite rapid in the 100 years prior to his book's publication. Newfoundland appears as a topic in both chapters four and twenty-three, as both a British colony and neighbor to the Dominion of Canada. In chapter four, Robinson explains how the importance of the fishery to Britain lead to the colonization of the island and the resulting problems with the French. Chapter twenty-three includes a further description of Newfoundland's fishery, her government, and the possibility of joining Confederation.

The European Colonial Empires
Author: H. L. Wesseling
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131789507X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The nineteenth century was Europe's colonial century. At the beginning of the period, the only colonial empire that existed was the British Empire. By the end of the century the situation was completely different and Europe's colonial possessions had come to constitute a large part of the world. The French had acquired an immense colonial empire and the Dutch had extended their control over Indonesia. Germany and Italy, unified only in the latter half of the century, had claimed their place under the sun. Even the tiny Kingdom of Belgium had acquired a huge colonial territory in Africa: the Belgian Congo. This is the first book to describe the whole process of colonization from conquest to pacification, and to analyze it in the light of administrative, cultural and economic developments. The European Colonial Empires discusses a uniquely long period instead of merely focussing on the shorter, accepted age of classical imperialism. Wesseling argues that European colonial expansion can be understood only by putting it into this long-term perspective and by comparing the differences between the colonies in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Caribbean. This book redresses the balance that privileges the British colonial and imperial experience. It emphasizes the continental European experience while relating developments to the British enterprise.
