He draws on recent advances in the field to examine their development, from efficacious forms of governance to coercive violence. Beginning with a narrative overview of imperial expansion that incorporates recent critiques of older scholarly approaches, Paquette then analyzes the significance of these empires, including their political, economic, and social consequences and legacies. He makes the multifaceted history of Europe's globe-spanning empires in this crucial period accessible to new readers.Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648CampaignsEuropeColoniesHistoryEuropeTerritorial expansionEuropePolitics and government17th centuryEuropePolitics and government18th centuryEuropeColoniesHistoireEuropeExpansion territorialeEuropePolitique et gouvernement17e siècleEuropePolitique et gouvernement18e siècleEuropeColoniescctEuropeTerritorial expansioncctEuropePolitics and government17th centurycctEuropePolitics and government18th centurycctEuropefastEuropagndThirty Years' War, 1618-1648Campaigns.940.244K503clcK504clcPaquette Gabrielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut766859DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910810537603321The European Seaborne Empires4017068UNINA
