William Tyler
European Expansion across the Globe
How to watch
Summary
This presentation takes a deep dive into European expansion and dominance from the 15th to the 20th centuries, beginning with Portugal and Spain and moving on to England (later Britain) and France. At the start of this imperial age, Europeans spread across Asia and South and North America, as well as parts of coastal Africa. This lecture will set up a subsequent lecture on the Golden Age of Empires.
