It examines the role of both the imperial powers and the African people who joined with or resisted them. Examining the experiences of Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal and Italy, it offers a comprehensive study of the military processes of conquest.; Adopting both indigenous and imperial perspectives, the author, explores how the historical memory of conquest and resistance has shaped the evolution of a modern African identity. It is aimed at students of imperial, commonwealth and military history, as well as African history. 410 0$aWarfare and history. 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aAfrica$xHistory, Military$y19th century 607 $aAfrica$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aEurope$xColonies$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xColonial influence 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 676 $a960.3 700 $aVandervort$b Bruce$0662177 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827963503321 996 $aWars of imperial conquest in Africa, 1830-1914$91297105 997 $aUNINA
