Studies in Universal and Cultural History,2524-3799Print version: Gehler, Michael The End of Empires Wiesbaden : Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH,c2022 9783658368753 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Antiquity -- Islam/Muslim World -- Africa, Asia, China -- The Americas -- Middle Age and Modern History -- The End of World War I -- The End of World War II and the Cold War.The articles of this comprehensive edited volume offer a multidisciplinary, global and comparative approach to the history of empires. They analyze their ends over a long spectrum of humankind’s history, ranging from Ancient History through Modern Times. As the main guiding question, every author of this volume scrutinizes the reasons for the decline, the erosion, and the implosion of individual empires. All contributions locate and highlight different factors that triggered or at least supported the ending or the implosion of empires. This overall question makes all the contributions to this volume comparable and allows to detect similarities, differences as well as inconsistencies of historical processes.
