Britain and the USA have helped define much of world history in recent centuries, and the relationship between the two is crucial to this history. This book focuses on a key period in their relationship that moulded the character of the British Empire, the USA and the way the two have interacted since. The rise and crises of empires will always fascinate the observer because in their fate we see much of human history. Certainly the struggle for empire in the 18th Century was key to the fate of North America. British victory followed by the American Revolution helped to define the modern world. The European nations of Britain, France and Spain were eager for predominance and the trappings of trade, land and prestige. Within North America, there were the local agents of these powers and their subjects, who in turn held their own interests and views; whilst the Native Americans were more than simply the passive victims of European expansion. This fascinating and complex story is told by Black with narrative drive and scholarly acumen.

This book examines the British government's policy towards Ireland during the imperial crisis of 1750-83, focusing on its attempts to reassert control over Ireland's increasingly hostile Protestant parliament and populace. Anglo-Irish relations are placed in a wider imperial framework, taking account of British policy towards its colonies, particularly India and America. This book reassesses the importance of Townshend and constant residency; the impact of the north ministry on Irish policy; the significance of legislative independence; the nature of British party attitudes toward Ireland, and the influence of Irish public opinion.

In 1880 the British empire was at its peak of stability. no other people ¿ not rome,nor spain nor russia ¿ had spread their power so substantially over all fivecontinents. And yet within less than a century, the vast imperial system had crumbledleaving the Commonwealth as the mere ghost of its predecessor.in this groundbreaking new study, David nicholson asks if this decline wasinevitable, or ¿ had Britain¿s rulers taken different decisions, encouraged trendsor sought to prevent them ¿ whether the strength and cohesion of the empirecould have been maintained. He examines, in particular, a series of turning pointswhich he believes to have been crucial to this process: the failure to deal withirish Home rule; over-extension in Africa; the failure to adopt Tariff reform; theBritish inability to reach an accommodation with germany before the first WorldWar; the strategic and tactical mistakes of the great War culminating in overextensionin the Middle east and ignoring of warnings about a one-sided interpretationof the Balfour Declaration; the errors in the build-up to the secondWorld War and its opening phase, especially those leading to the break withJapan and italy. David nicholson traces the real damage done by the 1939-45 War,leading to the final collapse of British power in india, then the Middle east and finallyin Africa, as well as the weakening of the links with the ¿old Commonwealth¿.He asks, provocatively, if the empire had not failed would Britain havebeen so attracted by membership of the european Community.Crisis of the British Empire:Turning Points After 1880 is a significant contributionto imperial studies and should be required reading for anyone wishing tounderstand Britain¿s position in the world on the brink of Brexit.

Crises of Empire offers a comprehensive and uniquely comparative analysis of the history of decolonization in the British, French and Dutch empires. By comparing the processes of decolonization across three of the major modern empires, from the aftermath of the First World War to the late 20th century, the authors are able to analyse decolonization as a long-term process. They explore significant changes to the international system, shifting popular attitudes to colonialism and the economics of empire. This new edition incorporates the latest developments in the historiography, as well as: - Increased coverage of the Belgian and Portuguese empires - New introductions to each of the three main parts, offering some background and context to British, French and Dutch decolonization - More coverage of cultural aspects of decolonization, exploring empire 'from below' This new edition of Crises of Empire is essential reading for all students of imperial history and decolonization. In particular, it will be welcomed by those who are interested in taking a comparative approach, putting the history of decolonization into a pan-European framework.

As the greatest imperial power before 1939 Britain played a leading role in the great post-war shift in the relationship between the West and the Third World which we call 'decolonisation'. But why did decolonisation come about and what were its effects? Was nationalism in colonial societies or indifference in Britain the key factor in the dissolution of the British Empire? Was the decay of British power and influence an inevitable consequence of imperial decline? Did British policies in the last phase of empire reflect an acceptance of decline or the hope that it could be postponed indefinitely by timely concessions? This book aims to answer these questions in a general account of Britain's post-war retreat from empire.
