Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Colonial Policy in the 20th Century About a quarter of a century ago, greatly daring, I sought to cover the whole field of British Colonial Policy in a single volume. If I had, at the time, read as much on the subject as I have had occasion to read in subsequent years, I might have shrunk from the attempt. Still, in spite of faults both of omission and commission, of which no one is more conscious than its author, the book was found to meet a want, and up to the present day still finds readers, not least, I am glad to recognize, in the Dominions. It has, therefore, seemed desirable to deal with the more recent history, though in a somewhat more intensive manner. I am well aware of the lions that stand in the path of a writer who attempts to treat of Dominion politics without a firsthand and intimate knowledge of those great communities. But, on the other hand, not every one has the necessary time and money at his disposal to make a personal investigation; and, ignorant as we in Great Britain may be of Dominion matters, the ignorance in one Dominion about what is happening in another is, I understand, yet more striking; so that a general conspectus of imperial policy is at least as difficult for a Canadian or Australian as it is for a mere Englishman. I have sought to atone for my ignorance of Dominion conditions by calling in aid the ipsissima verba of their statesmen and politicians, as reported in the Hansards. A Dominion minister may be expected to prophesy smooth things under the genial influence of an enthusiastic reception in Great Britain; but what he says in his own Parliament, when he is facing the music of an alert and critical Opposition, cannot but throw light on the trend of national opinion. An apology is due for dealing, however briefly, with the well-worn theme of the probable character of the future relations between Great Britain and the Dominions; but the somewhat different standpoint from which the question is approached will, I trust, prevent what is said being a mere replica of what can be found in other books, some of no little ability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Dresden Technical University (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Watching the English, language: English, abstract: At its height in the late 19th and early 20th century, the British empire included territories on all continents and comprised about one quarter of the world’s population and area. The way England became a world power is one of the biggest success stories in world history. The British Empire was the biggest empire ever, bar none. How an archipelago of rainy islands off the northwest coast of Europe came to rule the world is one of the fundamental questions not just of British but of world history. How did Britain manage to overcome the imperial giants of the 16th and 17th century, namely Portugal and Spain, establishing their own colonies and dependencies all over the world within the following three centuries? What were the ideas and intentions behind colonizing and conquering the world? Furthermore, it is interesting to find out what caused the dismantling of the Empire in the second half of the 20th century within just three decades, after three centuries of ruling vast parts of the globe. Finally, it will be astonishing to find out, what the British Empire has left behind for the modern world. At first, one might think of team sports like soccer, cricket or rugby, which were indeed brought to all parts of the globe by the Empire. Nevertheless, the colonial legacy of the British Empire is not only confined to sports. It can be found in many fields of life like economy, politics, architecture and food. Nor is it always a good legacy. The British Empire was also responsible for various present-day conflicts and it will be found out, how those conflicts came into being and what they are like.

Download or read book The Second British Empire written by Timothy H Parsons and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its peak, the British Empire spanned the world and linked diverse populations in a vast network of exchange that spread people, wealth, commodities, cultures, and ideas around the globe. By the turn of the twentieth century, this empire, which made Britain one of the premier global superpowers, appeared invincible and eternal. This compelling book reveals, however, that it was actually remarkably fragile. Reconciling the humanitarian ideals of liberal British democracy with the inherent authoritarianism of imperial rule required the men and women who ran the empire to portray their non-Western subjects as backward and in need of the civilizing benefits of British rule. However, their lack of administrative manpower and financial resources meant that they had to recruit cooperative local allies to actually govern their colonies. Timothy H. Parsons provides vivid detail of the experiences of subject peoples to explain how this became increasingly difficult and finally impossible after World War II as Afr

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Colonial Policy: 1783 1915 When we speak of Britain's Colonial policy a critic might at once Object that Great Britain has never had a Colonial policy. By sheer good fortune, it might be maintained, she stumbled into possession Of fertile places in various parts Of the earth and has succeeded in retaining them. There is a certain measure Of truth in this con tention. The British Empire is undoubtedly due to the political genius, the enterprise, the inde pendent spirit and the initiative of individuals, rather than to the constant and enlightened pursuit of a definite goal by the British Govern ment. Nevertheless, as we view it, the history 'of Great Britain's Colonial policy since 1783 is the history of an evolutionary process in Which there are three marked stages. During the first period the mother country, disillusioned and disappointed, left the entire control of the Colonies nominally to the Secretary of State charged With their administration, in reality to the permanent Officials in the Colonial, Ofiice. Thus ruled from Downing Street, they came to resent the interference Of Mr. -mother Country' in their concerns, and clamoured for Responsible Government as the only permanent remedy of their political, economic and social disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates development in British, French and Portuguese colonial Africa during the last decades of colonial rule. During this period, development became the central concept underpinning the relationship between metropolitan Europe and colonial Africa. Combining historiographical accounts with analyses from other academic viewpoints, this book investigates a range of contexts, from agriculture to mass media. With its focus on the conceptual side of development and its broad geographical scope, it offers new and unique perspectives. An extensive introduction contextualises the individual chapters and makes the book an up-to-date point of entry into the subject of colonial development, not only for a specialist readership, but also for students of history, development and postcolonial studies. Written by scholars from Africa, Europe and North America, Developing Africa is a uniquely international dialogue on this vital chapter of twentieth-century transnational history.
