The Expansion of Europe; the Culmination of Modern History

First published in 1917, this book by Scottish historian Ramsay Muir is a comprehensive account of the expansion of Europe and the rise of European civilization. Muir argues that European expansion was both a cause and a result of the development of modern history, from the Renaissance to the First World War. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the global impact of European imperialism and the roots of contemporary globalization.
