The Establishment of the European Hegemony: 1415-1715 - Trade and Exploration in the Age of the Renaissance by J.H. Parry
One of the most striking features of the history of the last two hundred years has been the dominant influence exerted by Europeans outside Europe.... The foundations of European dominance were prepared in the fifteenth century, and firmly laid in the sixteenth and seventeenth. In those centuries sea-faring Europeans visited almost every part of the world.... What were the motives which impelled European nations, from the fifteenth century onward, to embark on a career of overseas expansion? What were the social and technical abilities which gave that expansion such startling success?
