  • La révolution militaire

    Geoffrey ParkerBOOKLa révolution militaire2013

    La domination du monde par l’Europe du XIXe siècle est chose bien établie. Mais pourquoi et comment ce petit bout de péninsule eurasiatique démuni de ressources naturelles a-t-il pu assurer sa première expansion et affirmer en trois siècles, de 1500 à 1800, sa mainmise sur le tiers de la planète ? Avant sa révolution industrielle, le nerf de l’essor occidental a été sa révolution militaire. De cette révolution militaire, Geoffrey Parker rappelle …

  • Heeding Heraclides

    Anthony Pagden, Richard L Kagan et al.CHAPTERSpain, Europe and the Atlantic2010

    Heraclides of Byzantium, ambassador of Antiochus, presented himself to Publius Scipio and warned him: ‘Let the Romans limit their Empire to Europe, that even this was very large; that it was possible to gain it part by part more easily than to hold the whole.’ Scipio was unimpressed. ‘What seemed to the ambassador great incentives for conducting peace’, Livy tells us, ‘seemed unimportant to the Romans.’ But Heraclides' words would return to haunt…

  • David or Goliath? Philip II and his world in the 1580s

    Richard L Kagan, Geoffrey ParkerCHAPTERSpain, Europe and the Atlantic2010

    The coronation of Philip II as king of Portugal at Tomar on 16 April 1581 created the first empire upon which the sun never set. Nevertheless, the king did not look forward to the ceremony: ‘As you know’, he confided in a letter to his daughters, ‘they want to dress me in silk brocade, very much against my will’; but, on that historic day, he rose to the occasion. Putting aside the mourning that he had worn since the death of his fourth wife, six…

    Geoffrey ParkerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2008

    around the globe than any previous or subsequent age: something historians have called General Crisis. In the 1640s, Ming China, the most populous state in the world, collapsed; the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the largest state in Europe, disintegrated; much of the Spanish monarchy, the first global empire in history, seceded; and the entire Stuart monarchy rebelled-Scotland, Ireland, England, and its American colonies. In addition, just in t…

  • Unmaking the West

    Geoffrey Parker, Philip E Tetlock et al.BOOKUnmaking the West2006

    What if the Persians had won at Salamis? What if Christ had not been crucified? What if the Chinese had harnessed steam power before the West? Disparaged by some as a mere parlor game, counterfactual history is seen by others as indispensable historical tool. Taking as their point of inquiry the debate over the inevitability of the rise of the West, the eminent scholars in Unmaking the West argue that there is no escaping counterfactual history. …

    Open AccessGeoffrey ParkerARTICLETransactions of the Royal…2002Citada por: 2

    Messianic visions burgeoned simultaneously in Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the sixteenth century, directly involving sovereign rulers, and powerfully influencing international relations. This essay examines the propensity of Philip II (1556-98) to frame his policies in messianic terms, with special regard to England. It uses the Ridolfi plot (1570-1) and the Armada (1587-8) to show how the king disregarded strategic concerns, and failed to …
