J. H. Elliott, one of the most distinguished and versatile historians working today, offers us history on a grand scale, contrasting the worlds built by Britain and by Spain on the ruins of the civilizations they encountered and destroyed in North and South America. Elliott identifies and explains both the similarities and differences in the two empires' processes of colonization, the character of their colonial societies, their distinctive styles of imperial government, and the independence movements mounted against them. Based on wide reading in the history of the two great Atlantic civilizations, the book sets the Spanish and British colonial empires in the context of their own times and offers us insights into aspects of this dual history that still influence the Americas. 606 $aBritish$zAtlantic Ocean Region$xHistory 606 $aSpaniards$zAtlantic Ocean Region$xHistory 607 $aAmerica$xHistory$yTo 1810 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAmerica$xHistory 607 $aSpain$xColonies$zAmerica$xHistory 607 $aAmerica$xColonization 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBritish$xHistory. 615 0$aSpaniards$xHistory. 676 $a970/.02 700 $aElliott$b John Huxtable$0156581 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452202303321 996 $aEmpires of the atlantic world$91246743 997 $aUNINA
