Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical context of the British Empire's establishment of colonies. It begins by examining the evolution and motives behind colonialism from exploration, trade, social-political discontent, and religion. The author explores how different climates suited different colonizers, leading to the establishment of various types of colonies. It examines the unique characteristics that make for successful colonizing races, including enterprise, commercialism, aptitude for emigration, a warrior culture, assimilation abilities, and governing capacity. The book also discusses the relative successes and failures of different colonizing countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, and Britain. The author argues that Britain's success stemmed from its mixed-race origins, seafaring culture, small-state independence, and reliance on private enterprise.
