The British and French in the Atlantic 1650-1800 provides a
comprehensive history of this complex period and explores the
contrasting worlds of the British and the French Empires as they
strove to develop new societies in the Americas. Charting the
volatile relationship between the British and French, this book
examines the approaches that both empires took as they attempted to
realise their ambitions of exploration, conquest and settlement,
and highlights the similarities as well as the differences between
them. Both empires faced slave revolts, internal rebellion and
revolution as well as frequent wars against one another, which came
to dominate the Atlantic world, and which culminated in the
eventual failure of both empires in North America: the French
following the Seven Years War in 1763 and the British twenty years
later in the war against American Independence. Delving into key
themes, such as exploration and settlement, the creation of
societies, inequality and exploitation, conflict and violence,
trade and slavery, and featuring a range of documents to enable a
deeper insight into the relationship between the colonising
Europeans and Native Americans, The British and French in the
Atlantic 1650-1800 is ideal for students of the Atlantic World,
early modern Britain and France, and colonial America.
