Résumé
For more than 500 years, from the Renaissance until the present, empires in one form or another have been a feature of the political landscape. Their legacy remains a major issue in the post-colonial era. This intriguing account makes use of the huge resources of modern scholarship to raise fresh subjects, from the differing roles of men and women to ecology and food. It goes beyond the old chronologies and maps, armies and administrators to examine how colonizers marked distant lands and peoples at every level, and were transformed in turn.
The result is a fascinating picture of how the "Age of Empires" helped forge the global civilization of today. Featuring : the Ottoman Empire, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, Britain, France, Tsarist and Soviet Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the United States.
