Description

This Routledge volume explores the colonial trajectories of Britain and the Netherlands during a transformative period from 1750 to 1850, when these two maritime powers competed for global dominance. After emerging as leading trading nations in the seventeenth century through naval prowess, Britain and the Netherlands both pursued aggressive colonial expansion. By the nineteenth century, Britain had decisively won this struggle, establishing a navy of unmatched power and an empire of unprecedented scale. This book examines the colonial development of both nations during this crucial era, analysing how Britain's rise to imperial supremacy reshaped global power structures and laid the groundwork for the modern international order. Essential reading for historians, economists, and students of imperial history seeking to understand how two rival European powers competed for colonial resources, trade routes, and territorial control during this pivotal period of global expansion and British ascendancy.
