Book Description
Europe and the World, 1650-1830 is an important study of the first age of globalization. It surveys the interaction of Europe, Europe's growing colonies and other major global powers, such as the Ottoman Empire, China, India and Japan. Focusing on Europe's impact on the world, Jeremy Black analyses European attitudes, exploration, trade and acquisition of knowledge.
Stressing imperial defeats as well as victories, this book shows the vitality of non-European powers, and how the struggles during this period frequently involved cooperation between the great powers, as well as war. With an original approach that takes full notice of recent research, this book explores the differences between specific areas of European impact and also includes discussions on the impact of the outer world on the European imagination.
