This collection of original essays explores the connections between monarchy and colonialism, from the old regime empires down to the Commonwealth of today. With case studies drawn from Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, the chapters analyse constitutional questions about the role of the crown in overseas empires, the pomp and pageantry of the monarchy as it transferred to the colonies, and the fate of indigenous sovereigns under European colonial control. The volume, with chapters on North America, Asia, Africa and Australasia, provides new perspectives on colonial history, the governance of empire, and the transnational history of monarchies in modern Europe.Studies in imperialism.Monarchyfast(OCoLC)fst01025055Kings and rulersfast(OCoLC)fst00987694Imperialismfast(OCoLC)fst00968126ImperialismKings and rulersMonarchyEuropeHistoryEuropefastHistory.Electronic books.
