Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the detailed economic and geopolitical debate surrounding the British acquisition of Canada and Guadeloupe. The author presents a measured response to the competing opinions of the time, countering the view that the North American colonies were a drain on resources. Instead, he argues that a growing colonial population would fuel demand for British goods, thus increasing trade and naval strength. He also contends that control of Canada would both secure existing colonies and prevent conflict with the French and Native American neighbors. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the complex economic and strategic considerations that shaped the course of global empires during this period.
