	British Empire - LoveToKnow 1911
		Colonial governors are classed as governors-general; governors; lieut.-governors; administrators; high commissioners; and commissioners, according to the status of the colony and dependency, or group of colonies and dependencies, over which they preside.
		The extent of this burden was emphasized in 1909 by the revelations as to the increase of the German (and the allied Austrian) fleet.
		The manner in which these colonial contingents were raised, their admirable fighting qualities, and the service rendered by them in the field, disclosed altogether new possibilities of military organization within the empire, and in subsequent years the subject continued to engage the attention of the statesmen of the empire.

	EMPIRE : Encyclopedia Entry
		Empires predate the Romans by several hundred years: Egypt, for example, set up an empire in the 16th century BC by invading and then incorporating Nubia and the ancient city-states of the Levant.
		A discontinuous empire is one in which the ruled territories are overseas or are exclaves far from the imperial core.
		Empires cannot reliably be explained as a result of the cost/benefit analysis of the elites.

	British Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The overseas British Empire (in the sense of British oceanic exploration and settlement outside of Europe and the British Isles) was rooted in the pioneering maritime policies of the English King Henry VII, who reigned from 1485 to 1509.
		The empire thus took shape during the early 17th century, with the English settlement of the eastern colonies of North America, which would later become the original United States as well as Canada's Atlantic provinces, and the colonisation of the smaller islands of the Caribbean such as Saint Kitts, Barbados and Jamaica.
		The period is distinguished by an unprecedented pursuit of what has been termed "empire for empire's sake", aggressive competition for overseas territorial acquisitions and the emergence in colonising countries of doctrines of racial superiority which denied the fitness of subjugated peoples for self-government.

	[No title]
		Colonial legacies were visible in the desire of the new governments to keep the boundaries that were created during colonial times, in the promotion of ethnic rivalry, in the continuation of inhumane and unjust actions against minority populations, and in the practice of distributing the country's resources in an uneven manner.
		The status, privilege, and wealth of colonial and Soviet ruling populations were often maintained and upheld through the use of policies that violated the human rights of those living in the colonized areas.
		The author discusses the key characteristics of the ideologies and history of colonialism, the relationship of colonial discourse to literature, challenges to colonialism, and recent developments in post-colonial theories and histories in the writings of contemporary theorists.

		While agreeing with Hobson that the colonial trade was not necessary as a means of securing markets for surplus goods and capital, world systems and dependency theorists argue that colonialism was, nonetheless, necessary to the industrialization of Europe as a means both of acquiring raw materials and of accumulating capital (see, e.g.
		Colonies also provided labor that was even cheaper than that which was available at home and, in any case, was an alternative to mobilizing labor at home.
		These ‘made the rules of the colonial game,’ and ‘diplomats, soldiers, businessmen, and settlers played accordingly.’ Other sub-national actors were involved, as well: ‘church societies, militarist lobbies, and bankers’ and, in some countries, these ’exercised substantial influence over the formulation of colonial policy’ (1983: 67).

		The British Empire, which in the early decades of the 20th century covered nearly 30 million square kilometres with a population of 400-500 million people (roughly a quarter of the world's population), was the most extensive area under a single country's rule in history.

		The American colonies providing tobacco, cotton, and rice in the south and naval materiel and furs in the north were less financially successful, but had large areas of good agricultural land and attracted far larger numbers of English immigrants.

	Final Empire Chap 12
		In a world of empires, colonies and competing "spheres of influence," there is the threat that some competing empire may steal a colony but there is also the greater threat that the population of the colony may try to stop the extortion and throw out the invaders.
		This colonial control exercised by the capitalists often took the form of "giving independence" to a colony run by a colonial elite but covertly maintaining control of that former colony’s military and economic infrastructure.
		The old colonial empires then fought the indigenous guerrillas, the "Huks" of the former U.S. colonial possession of the Philippines,to a standstill in the 1950’s and a peasant revolt in British controlled Malaysia in the same era.

		The pressure was on the Belgian government to do something about their king and his actions in the Congo (the government had deliberately avoided any involvement in the scramble for Africa); in 1908, it reluctantly took over the Congo Free State from Leopold (he was consoled by a substantial indemnity) and renamed the Belgian Congo.
		The Belgian Congo was characterised by a high degree of coordination between the 3 sectors of penetration (which came to be called the ‘Trinity’): the colonial administration (government), the Church (Roman Catholic) and private companies.
		The colonial civil service was much like the military; after 23 years of service, officials retired with a pension.

		By the end of the century the situation was completely different and Europe's colonial possessions had come to constitute a large part of the world.
		Wesseling argues that European colonial expansion can be understood only by putting it into this long-term perspective and by comparing the differences between the colonies in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Caribbean.

	The truth about empire
		WORDS LIKE "colonialism" and "empire" were once frowned upon in the U.S. mainstream media as worn-out left-wing rhetoric that didn’t fit reality.
		The idea of a "self-liquidating" empire only has meaning if we assume that Ferguson is making the same racist assumptions made by his colonial predecessors--that the majority of the world’s people are "unfit" for self-government and need to be "tutored" by an enlightened colonial power.
		FERGUSON REJECTS the "central nationalist/Marxist assumption" that "every facet of colonial rule...was at root designed to maximize the surplus value that could be extracted from the subject peoples." Yet this is not a bad characterization of the aims of imperialist conquest.
