Book Synopsis France, Britain, and the Struggle for the Revolutionary Western Mediterranean by : Joshua Meeks
Download or read book France, Britain, and the Struggle for the Revolutionary Western Mediterranean written by Joshua Meeks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the conflict over control over the Western Mediterranean in the late eighteenth-century. The Western Mediterranean during the 1790s featured a constant struggle for control over the region. While most histories point to military events such as the Italian Campaign as descriptive of this struggle between the two competing ideological forces of Revolutionary France and the Counter-Revolutionary First Coalition led by Britain, this book takes a different approach. Rather than looking at the struggle between ideologies, this book looks at the struggle within those ideologies, arguing that the Western Mediterranean states were not simply the battlefields or the prizes of the struggle, but were active participants with goals of autonomy or neutrality. The focus stretches beyond conflict between France and Britain, into the adaptation of ideology for different uses in Tuscany, Toulon, Algiers, Spain, and especially Corsica.
Book Synopsis British Captives from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, 1563-1760 by : Nabil Matar
Download or read book British Captives from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, 1563-1760 written by Nabil Matar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Captives from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, 1563-1760 provides the first study of British captives in the North African Atlantic and Mediterranean, from the reign of Elizabeth I to George II. Based on extensive archival research in the United Kingdom, Nabil Matar furnishes the names of all captives while examining the problems that historians face in determining the numbers of early modern Britons in captivity. Matar also describes the roles which the monarchy, parliament, trading companies, and churches played (or did not play) in ransoming captives. He questions the emphasis on religious polarization in piracy and shows how much financial constraints, royal indifference, and corruption delayed the return of captives. As rivarly between Britain and France from 1688 on dominated the western Mediterranean and Atlantic, Matar concludes by showing how captives became the casus belli that justified European expansion.

Download or read book East of Malta, West of Suez written by Larry Pratt and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1975-11-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'We are a very rich and a very vulnerable Empire, and there are plenty of poor adventurers not very far away who look upon us with hungry eyes.' This is how Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain underlined England's acute imperial predicament in 1938 when he was about to launch his policy of European appeasement. What was the relationship between Empire and appeasement in British foreign policy in the last years of the inter-war peace? How did Britain's exposed overseas interests in the Far East, in the Middle East and in the Mediterranean influence diplomatic policies taken in London at the time of the Rhineland occupation, the Anschluss, the Munich crisis, the Prague coup of March 1939, or the invasion of Poland six months later? How closely was the policy of appeasement tied to the burden of global military weakness, and what was the impact of strategic advice on Cabinet decision-making in the Chamberlain era?

Book Synopsis Continental and Mediterranean Imports to Atlantic Britain and Ireland, AD 400-800 by : Ewan Campbell
Download or read book Continental and Mediterranean Imports to Atlantic Britain and Ireland, AD 400-800 written by Ewan Campbell and published by CBA Research Reports. This book was released on 2007 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 5th to 8th centuries AD there was a flourishing trade network linking the Atlantic coasts of Britain and Ireland to the Mediterranean and north-west Europe, bringing imported pottery and glass as well as new ideas from these areas. New material is often found in rescue excavations, and it is now recognised that imports from Europe and the Mediterranean are more widespread and more diverse than previously believed. This is the first comprehensive account of this material, and is linked to an online database. Around 1000 vessels from 150 sites are described, including fine tablewares, drinking vessels and transport containers for luxuries such as dyestuffs, nuts, wine and olive oil. Finds from some of the most significant sites from this era, including Tintagel, Dinas Powys, Whithorn and Dunadd, are discussed. The imports reveal aspects of early medieval society which are otherwise dealt with sparsely in the historical record, including contacts with the Byzantine Empire and Merovingian France. It is argued that trade was controlled from a few key sites with royal characteristics, where wealth was accumulated and used to produce elaborate jewellery. Analysis of the imports gives new insights into the growth of royal power at this formative stage of Insular early medieval states.

Book Synopsis Tectonics of the Western Mediterranean and North Africa by : G. Moratti
Download or read book Tectonics of the Western Mediterranean and North Africa written by G. Moratti and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2006 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated insight into the overall tectonic evolution of the Western Mediterranean region and North Africa. The tectonic setting of the region reflects a long-lived and complex evolution, mainly related to the Alpine Orogeny. This inheritance is expressed by an intricate pattern of arc-shaped mountain chains, the Alps, the Betic-Rif Cordilleras and the Apennine-Maghrebian belt, whose southern branches mark the present limit between the African and Eurasian plates. The volume covers the Maghrebian chains in North Africa, from Tunisia to Morocco and the Western and Central Mediterranean, from Spain to Italy from the pre-orogenic phases (Palaeozoic-Mesozoic) to the post-collisional neotectonic and Quaternary development. It includes both original research papers and syntheses dealing with the aspects of structural, sedimentary, metamorphic, marine geology.

Book Synopsis The Origins of the British: The New Prehistory of Britain by : Stephen Oppenheimer
Download or read book The Origins of the British: The New Prehistory of Britain written by Stephen Oppenheimer and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Oppenheimer's extraordinary scientific detective story combining genetics, linguistics, archaeology and historical record shatters the myths we have come to live by. It demonstrates that the Anglo-Saxon invasions contributed just a tiny fraction (5%) to the English gene pool. Two thirds of the English people reveal an unbroken line of genetic descent from south-western Europeans arriving long before the first farmers. The bulk of the remaining third arrived between 7,000 and 3,000 years ago as part of long-term north-west European trade and immigration, especially from Scandinavia - and may have brought with them the earliest forms of English language. As for the Celts - the Irish, Scots and Welsh - history has traditionally placed their origins in Iron Age Central Europe. Oppenheimer's genetic synthesis shows them to have arrived via the Atlantic coastal route from Ice Age refuges including the Basque country; with the modern languages we call Celtic arriving later. There is indeed a deep divide between the English and the rest of the British. But as this book reveals the division is many thousands of years older than previously thought.
