After Tamerlane by Charles Darwin
The Rise and Fall of Global Empires, 1400–2000
A sweeping global history of empire since the early fifteenth century, arguing that European predominance emerged only gradually from a competitive landscape dominated for centuries by powerful Asian states. It traces how commercial networks, state rivalry, technological and military change, and industrialization shaped shifting balances of power, and shows how the shocks of the world wars and rapid decolonization unraveled older imperial orders, giving rise to new centers of influence and a deeply interconnected modern world.
