A Concise History of the Modern World
By investigating the major changes of world history during the past five hundred years, this book provides the necessary global perspective to understand the geopolitical and geoeconomic changes facin
The Expansion of the American Empires
Although Columbus’ discovery of America in 1492 is a landmark in the history of the human race, he went to his grave convinced that what he had found were islands off the landmass of Asia. His four voyages (1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502) did nothing to dissuade him. 1 Not until 1513 when Vasco Núñez de Balboa (1475–1519) set eyes on the Pacific (the whole of which he claimed for the king of Spain) did the Europeans realize their error. By then, the s…
Africa
For the non-African, Africa is the ambiguous continent. Since paleolithic times it has sustained human life; some paleontologists believe it is where human life began. From at least 1500 Africa has been an integral part of world history. Until the nineteenth century it remained largely divided, diverse, tribal, remote, insular and oriented (where it was oriented to the outside world at all) either towards the Mediterranean or the Indian Ocean. Th…
The Decolonization of Africa
The declaration of principles by Churchill and Roosevelt in the Atlantic Charter in 1941, with its promise of self-determination and self-government for all, heralded the end of European colonialism in Africa. 1 As the Second World War progressed, a new generation of black leaders intent on securing self-rule emerged out of the native resistance movements. Among them were Kwame Nkrumah (1909–72) of the Gold Coast, Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906–2001…
A Concise History of the Modern World
In an ever-shrinking world, the need for a global perspective in dealing with the modern world has become acute. This book attempts to provide such a perspective by investigating the major changes in
The Rise of the West
Whatever the importance of Asia before 1500, the modern world was created not in the East but in the West. Christopher Columbus’ journey to the New World and Vasco da Gama’s rounding of the Cape were the forerunners of a movement which culminated in the triumph of Europe’s power in the world. How such a relatively undistinguished group of Europeans ever came to lay claim to the entire world is one of the riddles of the past.
The Expansion of the American Empires
Columbus’ discovery of America in 1492 opened a dramatic chapter in the history of the human race. The discovery of the New World was fortuitous. In 1506 Columbus went to his grave convinced that what he had found were islands off the landmass of Asia. Not until 1513 when Vasco Núñez de Balboa (1475–1517) set eyes on the Pacific (the whole of which he claimed for the king of Spain) did the Europeans realize their error. By then, the southern half…
