It offers insight into the social, political, diplomatic, and military issues that arose over the centuries of British involvement in the region, particularly focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. British involvement can be separated into three phases: Discovery, Colonization and Decolonization, and Post-Empire. Decisions made by individual traders and high governmental officials are examined to understand how Great Britain impacted the Islamic world through these periods and, conversely, how events in the Islamic world influenced British decisions within the empire, in protection of the empire, and in the wake of the empire. The essays consider early perceptions of Islam, the role of trade, British-Ottoman relations, and colonial rule and control through religion. They explore British influence in a number of countries, including Somalia, Egypt, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, the Gulf States, India, and beyond. The final part of the book addresses the lasting impact of British imperial rule in the Islamic world. .Britain and the WorldMiddle East—HistoryGreat Britain—HistoryImperialismWorld politicsHistory of the Middle Easthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715060History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Middle East—History.Great Britain—History.Imperialism.World politics.History of the Middle East.History of Britain and Ireland.Imperialism and Colonialism.Political History.261.27327.4101767Olmstead Justin Quinnedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910484022403321Britain in the Islamic World2851999UNINA
