Possessing the World : Taking the Measurements of Colonisation from the 18th to the 20th Century Hardback
by Bouda Etemad
Part of the European Expansion & Global Interaction series
Hardback
Description
Based on an impressive body of information and data, this volume recounts the history of five continents over a long stretch of time and in a comparative approach.
From the beginning of European expansion the question was posed: what were the "empire tools" that gave Europe its military superiority, even before the industrial revolution?
What was it that enabled Europeans to withstand life-threatening tropical diseases and to control indigenous populations?
This book gives a fresh and wide-ranging view of the construction and collapse of the modern colonial empires of Europe, the United States of America and Japan.
