HIST 370 - Empire in Modern History

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

HIST - History

Description:

This course examines the British empire and its relationships to the rest of the world from the seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth century, with special emphasis on the period between 1760 and 1947. Although there have been other empires in the modern world, the British empire is perhaps the most interesting and the most ripe for historical analysis because of how long it lasted, the fact that it coincided with the industrial revolutions of the nineteenth century (and helped fund the first industrial revolution), and because British imperialism changed the twentieth century tremendously and continue to affect the contemporary world.
