While imperial blockbusters fly off the shelves, there is no comprehensive history dedicated to resistance in the 19th and 20th century British Empire. The Trouble with Empire is the first volume to fill this gap, offering a brief but thorough introduction to the nature and consequences of resistance to British imperialism. Historian Antoinette Burton's study spans the 19th and 20th centuries, when discontented subjects of empire made their unhappiness felt from Ireland to Canada to India to Africa to Australasia, in direct response to incursions of military might and imperial capitalism. The Trouble with Empire offers the first thoroughgoing account of what British imperialism looked like from below and of how tenuous its hold on alien populations was throughout its long, unstable life. By taking the long view, moving across a variety of geopolitical sites and spanning the whole of the period 1840-1955, Burton examines the commonalities between different forms of resistance and unveils the structural weaknesses of the British Empire.0.
NASA research of earth-moon mechanics by astrophysicist Robert Newton leads mathematicians of MSU Dr. Fomenko to a breakthrough in the world chronology in general and history of Great Britain in particular.'The Issue with British History' shows, on one hand, how much shorter than generally presumed it really is, but, on the other hand, it underscores the major role Great Britain played in the World History.Indeed, England, a small non-significant and underpopulated province of the Great Evil Empire of Eurasia stepped in XVI century in his own way to greatness, becomes within barely 300 years the World Empire that ruled the waves where the sun never set down!Indeed again, the Isle of England was the first country where old nobility was replaced with new gentry loyal to its King, the first to confiscate most of the Catholic church riches, free itself from the clutches of Roman Curia, and to introduce literacy and basic sciences.After the rule of the King Henry VIII that deeply transformed England in 1509-1547 and the rule in 1553-1558 of Queen Maria I Bloody Mary who tried and failed to return England to the Catholic fold, the re-establishment of Roman Catholicism was definitely reversed by in Elizabeth I that ruled in 1558-1603.During the 45-years of the Elizabethan Era, instead of dancing and dueling � la fran�aise, the Gentry was put to learning sciences, building the Royal Navy to ensure the British maritime supremacy, colonization, licensed piracy, and trade.Regretfully, British scholars of XVI-XVII th centuries based their historical writings on the consensual chronology of the French Kabbalist Scaliger and Jesuit Petavious. Dr. Prof Fomenko et al analyzed the english sources they used and put under scrutiny the consensual, i.e. Scaligerian version of the "ancient" and mediaeval chronology of Britain.His verdict: the British history is most likely to have been extended arbitrarily, and quite substantially so. To express the deep gratitude of the world scientific community to the British historians of Oxbridge for warping of the timescale - the cover of the book presents Jesus Christ by Tintoretto showing the true time of Big Ben. The British scholars have 5 years of scheduled repair of Big Ben to review in an adequate manner the History of Great Britain in line with the presented by Dr. Fomenko data.Prescient Saint Augustine warned: 'be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth!'.

The British Imperial Century provides a concise but comprehensive overview of the formation and administration of the empire from its origins in the early nineteenth century, to its climax at mid-century and ultimate denouement on the eve of the First World War.Considering the impact of British imperial rule and influence on subject peoples, Timothy H. Parsons explores the themes of cross-cultural social and environmental interaction from a world history perspective. He traces the transition from informal to formal empire, which broadened and intensified Britain's relations with Asia, Africa, and the western hemisphere. The establishment of extensive colonies and protectorates in Africa, the occupation of Egypt, the declaration of the Raj in India, and increased economic and political intervention in Latin America and in the Chinese and Ottoman empires brought ever-larger numbers of non-European peoples and cultures under either the influence or direct authority of the British Crown. By considering British imperialism through the lens of world history, Parsons moves beyond questions of Britain's motives in acquiring more territory to ask how it was able to acquire such an empire. As a global network of exchanges, the British Empire linked disparate regions in a series of distinct but overlapping exchanges. By co-opting and adapting the values and customs of their subjects imperial rulers strengthened their authority and legitimacy, but in doing so produced a hybrid culture that was largely British in style but not entirely British in substance. An ambitious and thoughtful contribution, The British Imperial Century will be invaluable for courses on world history and European history and as a supplement for courses on African, Asian, British, and Middle Eastern history.
