How did these technological, economic, and cultural exchanges contribute to the exceptional creativity and devastating violence of the twentieth century Why did sexuality and gender roles become part of the marketing of Empire in advertisements, fi lms (like Tarzan) and children's literature Did the "civilizing mission," economic, or politicainterests motivate the U.S. annexation of Hawaii or the British raj in India We also compare and contrast examples of nationalist resistance and its legacy in such cases as Irish rebellion, Gandhi's campaign for non-violence, African independence movements, the partition of the Middle East, and Vietnam.
