395K01

The American Revolution won freedom and peace for North America, but it brought far-reaching catastrophic consequences to the world. The revolutionary violence and imperial repression it triggered affected not only Europe, but also South America, Australia, Africa, and Asia. It not only sown the seeds of the collapse of the outstanding empires of the early modern period, but also set the stage for the global dominance of Britain, Russia, and the United States. In this outstanding work of history, Matthew Lockwood strives to make sense of this complex history.
