The History of England is a comprehensive book written by A. F. Pollard, which provides a detailed account of the country's past, from the earliest times to the early 20th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific period in England's history, including the Roman invasion, the Anglo-Saxon period, the Norman Conquest, the Tudor dynasty, the English Civil War, and the Victorian era. The author presents a balanced and objective view of the events that shaped England's history, including the political, social, and economic factors that influenced the country's development. He also explores the lives and achievements of the key figures who played a significant role in shaping the course of English history, such as William the Conqueror, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Oliver Cromwell, and Queen Victoria. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of knowledge and interest in English history. It includes maps, illustrations, and a comprehensive index, making it a valuable reference tool for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of history. Overall, The History of England is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the rich and complex history of this fascinating country.There are three periods in British colonial expansion. The first, or introductory period, was marked by England's rivalry with Spain and Portugal; the second by its rivalry with the Dutch; and the third by its rivalry with France; and in each the rivalry led to wars in which Britain was victorious. The Elizabethan war with Spain was followed by the Dutch wars of the Commonwealth and Charles II's reign, and then by the French wars, which lasted, with longer or shorter intervals, from 1688 to 1815. The wars with the Dutch showed how completely, in the latter half of the seventeenth century, commercial interests outweighed those of religion and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
