British Foreign Policy, 1874-1914 The Role of India

A challenging analysis of British Foreign Policy is provided at a time when Britain possessed the biggest Empire that humankind has ever known. In this Empire India had a unique position, comprising 97 per cent of Britain's Asiatic Empire. All British statesmen deemed it essential to maintain their hold over India whatever the risk or cost of doing so.This work focuses on aspects that have been hitherto marginalized. It also contributes to debates surrounding the origins of the First World War, the multipolar diplomacy of the late nineteenth century, and the nature of imperial connections.Mahajan, Sneh is the author of 'British Foreign Policy, 1874-1914 The Role of India' with ISBN 9780415260107 and ISBN 0415260108.
