Across the globe, the 19th century signaled the high renaissance of Western Imperialism. With all their power, it may have seemed that the Europeans pressed forward unchecked, but in fact native militias often defeated those who would possess their homelands. Maintaining control of overseas empires began to put an enormous strain on the home economies of all imperial powers--especially when the Great War loomed. From the African land rush to British expansion and American imperialism, this is a gripping story.
