Reseña del libro "Western Imperialism: When Europe owned three-fifths of the World (en Inglés)"
Title; "Western imperialism: when Europe owns three-fifths of the world," it responds to a very determined period, the one of end of century XIX and beginnings of the XX (until the IWW), during which happened events of enormous importance for the world, since It is then that the West (fundamentally the great European powers) embarked on the definitive export of their social, political and economic forms and ways of life to the rest of the known world. That is why I have chosen this subtitle. However, other historical epochs commonly associated with the power and expansionism of the West, from the fifteenth century (conquest and colonization of America), and even at least the seventies of the last century, in a process Historical that is not yet exhausted or finished, and whose dire consequences I intend to show to future generations and to the current leaders in this book.Western imperialism thus constitutes in itself a broad chapter in the history of mankind, in which the very worst characteristics of the human species in general and the danger of the exercise of power by the Elites in particular.However, in this book, there is an alleged social character in the form of regional studies, since I consider that imperialism is not a global phenomenon, but is limited to very determined regions, which have been the protagonists of imperialism since The historical point of view. In this way, I focus on imperialism at the western root (it should be noted that when I speak of the West, I do so mainly from Europe, as well as from the United States).
