Arguing instead for the pivotal role of economic and political history, Hoffman shows that if certain variables had been different, Europe would have been eclipsed, and another power could have become master of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoffman sheds light on the two millennia of economic, political, and historical changes that set European states on a distinctive path of development, military rivalry, and war. This resulted in astonishingly rapid growth in Europe's military sector and produced an insurmountable lead in gunpowder technology. The consequences determined which states established colonial empires or ran the slave trade, and even which economies were the first to industrialize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDebunking traditional arguments, \u003cem\u003eWhy Did Europe Conquer the World?\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the startling reasons behind Europe's historic global supremacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852696178924,"sku":"9780691175843","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1745573482434.jpg?v=1759160414"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/philip-t-hoffman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
