The British Empire in Darwin's eyes was not only created by kings and conquerors but also by the ambition and enterprising spirit of countless individuals. These people include businessmen, investors, immigrants, missionaries, etc. It is their various interests and demands that together form a complex relationship in which each has its own agenda. It was these pioneers or colonists who left Britain and went to various countries around the world who shaped the world in their vastly different ways: getting involved in the politics of each continent, laying the political model for modern countries, cultural migration based on their mother tongue, and the penetration and spread of various technologies and values... Why did such a great empire not continue to prosper or was it never truly established? There are so many native English-speaking people living in every corner of the world, controlling economic and political entities of different natures, but why are their ideological differences so great and even at odds with each other? Was the British Empire in history the destroyer of culture or the creator of global integration? What profound impact did it have on then, now and in the future? From the blazing ambition to dominate the world to the helpless disillusionment of the imperial dream, this book takes us into each historical scene to gain an in-depth understanding of the past of the British Empire's global expansion and its profound impact on today's world and even the future.

The six hundred years of the Ottoman Empire are a story of three hundred years of strength and three hundred years of decline. It is a huge empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa and the crossroads of the world. The rise and fall of national destiny affects the direction of world history. The ancestors of the Turks came from the steppes of Central Asia. Around 1300 AD, they migrated to the westernmost tip of Asia and established their own country here. Only after the hard work of the three founding sultans, the Turks established themselves as an "empire" and left an invincible reputation in Europe. In 1453, Muhammad the Conqueror captured Constantinople, and in 1529, Suleiman the Magnificent marched under the walls of Vienna. The Ottoman Empire at its peak brought unprecedented impact to the political map of Eurasia. As modernity dawned on the world, the Ottoman Empire lagged behind. One after another, European countries stood on the cusp of historical change. The Habsburg Dynasty, Spain, Tsarist Russia, the Napoleonic Empire, the British Empire, and the Eastern power Ottoman had inevitable collisions. In 1683, the Ottoman army besieged Vienna again and suffered a disastrous defeat; in 1821, a war of independence broke out in Greece under the rule of the Ottoman Empire; at the same time, Egypt also established its own country. Since then, more than twenty countries have broken off from the Ottoman Empire's territories in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Africa. Many of these countries quickly became colonies of European powers such as Britain, France, and Russia. Eventually, the Ottoman Empire itself collapsed after its defeat in World War I.

In the ups and downs of Türkiye's national destiny, Chinese readers can find the shadow of their motherland and the roots of many international current situations. That imperial era is an indelible and unavoidable historical memory in Europe, Asia, and even the entire modern world.

This book is about writing the history of changes, turbulence, collision, development, and mutual shaping of East Asia since the 16th century. Why do we always feel that Japan and South Korea, separated by a water, are familiar but out of reach? The East Asian world we live in and think we are familiar with is actually full of myths and prejudices that need to be rediscovered and re-understood. From a global and continuous perspective, this book explores how the history of the modern world since the 16th century-rather than the individual history of China, Japan, and South Korea-has unfolded on the land of East Asia. The long-dusted past is revived. Through this book, we can discover that the more than seventy years of North-South confrontation on the Korean peninsula and the intricate love and hatred between China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea are actually "legacies" scattered on the road to modernization in East Asia. Although history does not directly provide answers to today, this book helps us to clear away the fog of reality, rebuild common sense, and see the essence through phenomena in the changing situation at home and abroad.

From the time the "black ships" of the United States were closed in 1853 to the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912, Japan took 60 years to rise from a backward country to one of the world's powerful countries, creating a unique model for the rise of great powers in modern world history, and becoming the envy and imitation of many catch-up countries. By describing the important historical figures and major historical events of this period, this book vividly records Japan's difficult journey of catching up and building a modern country over the past 60 years. It also analyzes the internal reasons why Japan later embarked on the path of militarism. For countries pursuing the "rise of a great power", the path Japan has taken still has strong practical significance.
