Under the editorial guidance of Alan Palmer, this volume presents the dramatic rise of new nation-states, the expansion of colonial power across Africa and Asia, and the clashing ambitions of figures who commanded armies and toppled kingdoms, brought vividly to life through meticulous historical narrative and striking visual documentation.\n\nPart of the celebrated Milestones of History series, this instalment argues that the transformative events of the 1870s — from the unification of the German Empire to the wars of the American West and the resistance of African kingdoms — were not isolated episodes but deeply interconnected turning points in global history. Palmer's authoritative editorial voice and the series' signature blend of scholarly rigour and accessible storytelling make this an essential reference for students and enthusiasts alike.
