World History by Era - Vol. 7 Europe Rules the World (hardcover edition)

As the British imperialist poet Rudyard Kipling put it, European nations took up "the white man's burden" in the late nineteenth century and constructed colonial empires across the globe. The peoples of Africa, India, China, Japan, and other regions, however, were forced to deal with European intrusions. This text examines how, by 1900, a few western European nations as well as the United States established dominion over most of the earth and how colonized peoples reacted to them.Jeff Hay is the author of 'World History by Era - Vol. 7 Europe Rules the World (hardcover edition)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780737707670 and ISBN 0737707674.
