Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 5: Its Progress and Expansion at Home and Abroad; Comprising a Description and History of the British Colonies and Dependencies Diaz, and the landing of Vasco da Gama, in November, 1487, at St. Helena Bay (120 miles north of the Cape), which he quitted within a few days after a skirmish with natives whom he describes as small in stature, clothed in the skins of animals, and armed with weapons formed of wood hardened in fire and pointed with horn. Thenceforward, different harbours on the south African coast were frequently Visited by Portuguese fleets bound to or from the East. In 1503, Antonio de Saldanha, on his way to India, anchored in Table Bay, and ascended the flat-topped mountain to which he gave its name. Seven years later, Francisco d'almeida, first Governor and Viceroy of the Portuguese possessions in India, landed in Table Bay on his return to Europe, and was killed, with many of his men, in a conflict with the natives. In 1522, the Bay was entered by the Vittoria, the first ship that ever sailed round the world, commanded by Sebastian del Cano, whose vessel alone returned to Europe after completing the voyage begun by a squad ron Of five under Magellan (magalhaens). The first account of the Cape written in English by an actual Observer was that of Thomas Stevens, a priest in the service of Portugal, wrecked near Table Bay, in 1579, on his way to Goa. In the following year, on June i8th, Francis Drake, returning home on the first British circum navigation of the world, Sighted the headland, which he describes as a most stately thing, and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth. In 1591, the first expedition that left England for the East Indies sailed from Plymouth in three ships under the command of Admiral George Raymond, and put into Table Bay at the end of July. Only one Of these first English vessels that ever reached the South African coast arrived at her final destination. The Mere/2am Royal, in August, was sent back as too short-handed for a continuance Of her voyage. The Penelope, with Raymond on board, foundered at sea on September i2th, four days after leaving Table Bay. The Ea'wara' Bonaventure, com manded by Captain James Lancaster, made her way to India. This notable navigator and merchant-prince afterwards became one of the twenty-four first directors of the East India Company, and General of the first fleet sent out, with John Davis as chief pilot.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Empire in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2: The Campaigns of Wellington and the Policy of Castlereagh (1806-1825) The fate of the modern world was determined during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Indeed the issues of that period were the most important which have ever occurred in the history of mankind. Kingdoms were broken up and rebuilt, monarchs were raised from the people, crowned' and dethroned, and new systems of government were invented, tried, and discarded. The Pope was hurled by violence from his chair, and restored by force of arms. Treaties and laws were made and broken every few months. Each of the Powers of Europe was friend and foe to each in turn, except England, which was steadily hostile to Napo leon throughout. Armies and fleets were called into being, and destroyed with reckless prodigality, and commerce was hampered by ruthless blockades. Everywhere force reigned triumphant.

Book excerpt: Volume III of "The Oxford History of the British Empire" covers the long 19th century, from the achievement of American independence in the 1780s to the eve of world war in 1914.

This book was released on 2001-07-26 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history. Volume III of The Oxford History of the British Empire covers the long nineteenth century, from the achievement of American independence in the 1780s to the eve of world war in 1914. This was the period of Britain's greatest expansion as both empire-builder and dominant world power. The volume is divided into two parts. The first contains thematic chapters, some focusing on Britain, others on areas at the imperial periphery, exploring those fundamental dynamics of British expansion whcih made imperial influence and rule possible. They also examine the economic, cultural, and institutional frameworks whcih gave shape to Britain's overseas empire. Part 2 is devoted to the principal areas of imperial activity overseas, including both white settler and tropical colonies. Chapters examine how British interests and imperial rule shaped individual regions' nineteenth-century political and socio-economic history. Themes dealt with include the economics of empire, imperial institutions, defence, technology, imperial and colonial cultures, science and exploration. Attention is given not only to the formal empire, from Australasia and the West Indies to India and the African colonies, but also to China and Latin America, often regarded as central components of a British `informal empire'.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Empire in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 1 The period dealt with in this volume is probably the most important in the history of Modern England, so no apology is needed for commencing a History of the Nineteenth Century at the year I 793. Indeed, it would be impossible either to describe the condition of the country in 1801, or to continue the narrative of the war with France, without some account of the events which occurred during the last few years of the eighteenth century.
