Descriere

This is the first modern study to focus on the British dimension of the American Revolution across its whole span from its origins to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and its aftermath. Leading UK and US scholars explore every aspect of the subject; from Britain's problems in governing the American colonies including the reaction of the British public to the American Revolution and its impact in Ireland, to the consequences of the eventual loss of America. Throughout, it emphasises the European and global dimensions of the conflict. Essential reading for anyone interested in the American Revolution itself and in the dynamics of European power politics in the late eighteenth century.
