Fast Facts

War, Empire and Slavery c. 1790-1820 Conference

May 16, 2008 - May 18, 2008
University of York, York, England, United Kingdom
 

Highlights

These wars saw the fatal weakening of the Dutch and the Spanish, and eventually the French empires, yet the continuing expansion of the British, Russian and North American empires. The impact of the warfare of the period can only be fully understood if this global dimension is given full weight, and if the experience of these wars is placed in the context of the parallel developments taking place in the political, military and economic systems of Asia and Africa, in the Mogul, Persian, Ottoman and other empires.
