The Commonwealth
The modern British Commonwealth, linking fifty countries around the world in voluntary association, cooperation, and consultation, is a unique body in world history.

Larby and Harry Hannam have assembled an unrivaled body of literature to illustrate the growth of the Empire into the Commonwealth. This extensive bibliography identifies, lists, and annotates the most important publications on the ...

Greater France
Greater France provides a comprehensive account of French overseas expansion from 1830 to 1962. After a prologue on the overseas empire of the old regime, chapters examine the conquest of a second empire in Africa, Asia and the islands of the South Seas in the era of the 'new imperialism'. Subsequent chapters explore the ideology behind expansion and the culture of colonialism in France, the migration of French men and women to overseas possessions, the economic history of the colonies, and the phenomenon of decolonisation. An epilogue surveys France's continued links with its former colonies and remaining outposts.

Die Frage drängt sich auf, was den den überzeugten Freihändler zu diesem folgenschweren Schritt bewogen hat. Bismarck hatte das Reich nach dessen Gründung ferner doch für „saturiert“ erklärt und bis 1884 stets bekräftigt, wie wenig er von Kolonien generell hielt. Warum setzte er diese Grundüberzeugung - zumindest vorüb...
