From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers 410 0$aOxford history of the British Empire companion series ;$vv. 4. 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 676 $a909/.0971241 702 $aBrown$b Judith M$g(Judith Margaret),$f1944- 702 $aLouis$b William Roger$f1936- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820712003321 996 $aOxford history of the British Empire$91407945 997 $aUNINA
