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.
