Opis
The history of our world is the history of empires.
From the vast domains of the Achaemenid Empire-which spanned three continents and ruled more than 40 percent of the world’s population at its height-to the Ottoman Empire, which dominated Eurasia for centuries, the rise and fall of empires have shaped the course of human history.
In this sweeping history, historian and Sunday Times bestselling author Philip Parker examines more than 60 empires, tracing their expansion, achievements, decline, and lasting influence. He explores the foundations of their success, the causes of their downfall, and the legacies they left behind.
Accompanied by stunning maps, each chapter offers a vivid visual perspective on the forces that shaped the world. These detailed illustrations reveal the scale and reach of imperial power while helping readers understand the historical phenomenon of imperialism-and consider whether the age of empires has truly come to an end.
Empires featured include:
The Roman Empire - The ancient world’s greatest superpower, whose laws, language, and legacy continue to shape modern society.
The Mongol Empire - The largest contiguous land empire in history, forged by Genghis Khan across vast stretches of Eurasia.
The Ottoman Empire - A six-century powerhouse spanning three continents, from the fall of Constantinople to the emergence of modern Turkey.
The Aztec Empire - A remarkable Mesoamerican civilization ultimately brought down by a small force of Spanish conquistadors.
The Mughal Empire - Rulers of one of the richest empires in history, renowned for artistic, architectural, and cultural achievements including the Taj Mahal.
The Macedonian Empire - Alexander the Great’s extraordinary conquest, which stretched from Greece to the borders of India in little more than a decade.
Combining authoritative history with striking cartography, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the empires that built-and transformed-the world we know today.
