Maritime Exploration und Expansion haben die eurasische Geschichte seit der Antike nachhaltig geprägt. Kapitäne, Händler und Eroberer verbanden lange vor Kolumbus den Atlantik, das Mittelmeer und den Indischen Ozean zu einem pulsierenden Netzwerk, das die Grundlagen bildete für die neuzeitliche Erschließung aller Meere des Globus. Der Band führt Experten verschiedener Epochen und Disziplinen zusammen. Sie erklären vergleichend und epochenübergreifend die Voraussetzungen, Verläufe und Folgen, die der Aufbruch über die Meere auf die Politik, Wirtschaft und kulturelle Entwicklung hatte. Dabei wird nicht nur die europäische, sondern auch die indische und chinesische Perspektive berücksichtigt. Während der erste Teil sich der Erschließung des Indischen Ozeans und des Atlantik widmet, zeigen die Beiträge des zweiten Teils, wie maritime Entdeckungen das geographische Weltbild veränderten und Nachrichten von fernen Kulturen Ethnographie und Reiseliteratur befruchteten. Die maritime Expansionsgeschichte ist dabei nicht nicht nur durch Brüche, sondern auch durch erstaunliche Kontinuitäten und Parallelen gekennzeichnet. Es eröffnen sich Perspektiven, die moderne Entwicklungen wie das Projekt der "Neuen Chinesischen Seidenstraße" gar nicht mehr so neu erscheinen lassen. The exploration of sea routes and distant shores has been a crucial aspect of Eurasian history since ancient times. Long before Columbus, seafarers, traders, and conquerors built a thriving network across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Indian Ocean. This is the first book to consider maritime exploration's conditions, processes, and effects on political, economic, and cultural developments.

For its first eighty-five years, the United States was only a minor naval power. Its fledgling fleet had been virtually annihilated during the War of Independence and was mostly trapped in port by the end of the War of 1812. How this meager presence became the major naval power it remains to this day is the subject of American Naval History, 1607-1865: Overcoming the Colonial Legacy. A wide-ranging yet concise survey of the U.S. Navy from the colonial era through the Civil War, the book draws on American, British, and French history to reveal how navies reflect diplomatic, political,

This study aims to provide new insights into the connections between maritime history and global history. It demonstrates the significance of maritime activity as a conduit of global exchange by examining local, national, and international interdependencies and trade networks, and a broad range of time periods, geographical areas, and various sub-divisions of maritime historical research. It is composed of ten essays, with an introductory chapter and concluding chapter. The first five essays discuss the effects globalisation on shipping in the early modern period; the following three discuss maritime transportation and the economics of industrialisation from the nineteenth century to the present day; the next discusses the impact of global entrepreneurialism on maritime history; the penultimate discusses the connections and variables between maritime and global history; and the concluding chapter examines the theoretical assumptions surrounding the two disciplines, using the globalisation of Early Modern Spain as a case study to do so. The study demonstrates that the core strength of maritime history is its essential place in global history, and that the process of globalisation began at sea.

The naval leader has taken centre stage in traditional naval histories. However, while the historical narrative has been fairly consistent the development of various navies has been accompanied by assumptions, challenges and competing visions of the social characteristics of naval leaders and of their function. Whilst leadership has been a constant theme in historical studies, it has not been scrutinised as a phenomenon in its own right. This book examines the critical period in Europe between 1700 -1850, when political, economic and cultural shifts were bringing about a new understanding of the individual and of society. Bringing together context with a focus on naval leadership as a phenomenon is at the heart of this book, a unique collaborative venture between British, French and Spanish scholars. As globalisation develops in the twenty-first century the significance of navies looks set to increase. This volume of essays aims to place naval leadership in its historical context.

Navies in Modern World History traces the role of navies in history from the early nineteenth century, through both World Wars, to the dawn of the twenty-first century and beyond.In a series of case studies Lawrence Sondhaus examines the national fleets of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Japan, Brazil, Chile and the Soviet Union, and demonstrates the variety of ways in which each country has made decisive use of naval power. In each case the author argues that the navy in question helped change the course of modern world history; he also systematically analyses the challenges navi
