	Pax Britannica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pax Britannica (Latin for "the British Peace", modelled after Pax Romana) refers to a period of British imperialism after the Battle of Waterloo, which led to a period of overseas British expansionism.
		The term is derived from, during this period, Europe being relatively peaceful and the British Empire controlling most key naval trade routes and enjoying unchallenged sea power.
		The Pax Britannica was weakened by the breakdown of the continental order established by the Congress of Vienna and the consequent establishment of new nation-states in Italy and Germany after the Franco-Prussian War.

	Pax Americana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Pax Americana (Latin: "American Peace") denotes the period of relative peace in the Western world since the end of World War II in 1945, coinciding with the dominant military and economic position of the United States.
		The term Pax Americana is used by critics of U.S. policy to describe an effort they allege is made by the U.S. to suppress countries that do not cooperate with U.S. policy, but some supporters of American foreign policy also use the term, so it is not necessarily derogatory.
		The Pax Americana derives partly from the direct influence of the United States, but as significantly or more so from international institutions backed by American financing and diplomacy.

		Causes of the rise of New Imperialism and the breakdown of the informal colonialism of Pax Britanica
		The decline of Pax Britannica after the Franco-Prussian War, was made possible by recent changes in the European and world economies and in the continental balance of power, such as the breakdown of the Concert of Europe[?] and the consequent establishment of nation-states in Germany and Italy.
		Britain, in as sense, continued to adhere to the Cobdenite notion that informal colonialism was preferable—the established consensus among industrial capitalists during the age of Pax Britannica between the downfall of Napoleon and the Franco-Prussian War.

		The origins of the New Imperialism are linked to the breakdown of the British "Pax Britannica", which had its origins in an earlier form of imperialism.
		The decline of Pax Britannica, following the Franco-Prussian War, was made possible by changes in the world economy and the continental balance of power; particularly, by the decline of the Concert of Europe.
		As it was mostly unoccupied by the Western powers as late as the 1880s, Africa became the primary target of the "new" imperialist expansion, although conquest took place also in other areas — notably south-east Asia and the East Asian seaboard, where the United States and Japan joined the European powers' scramble for territory.

		Thus, the greatest impact of Saxon control was the substitution of one foreign prestige language (Anglo-Saxon) for another (Latin) along with the expected changes in the predilections of the ruling administrative and agricultural classes (compare Davis 1982: 121-27).
		In this Pax Britannica, the Saxons remained seemingly content within their areas of control and, as pointed out quite vociferously by Gildas, the Britons engaged in their chronic wars of hegemony.
		In the fifty-year Pax Britannica, Saxon rulers with their mixed populations had been content to occupy regions in the agriculturally marginal part of the island, because the favorable climate ensured that even these regions would have prospered sufficiently to maintain population levels.

	Pax Romana -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The army that enforced the Pax Romana had expanded little beyond the size envisaged for it by Augustus, despite the enlargement of the empire by Claudius, the Flavians, and Trajan.
		It reached 31 legions momentarily under Trajan, but it usually numbered 28 under the Flavians and Antonines until the onset of the frontier crisis in Aurelius' reign brought it to 30.
		With the establishment of the Empire, the century of civil strife, which had also seen almost constant warfare abroad, was followed by two centuries of profound peace broken only by frontier warfare.

		The term Pax Americana (Latin: "American Peace") denotes the period of perceived peace in the Western world since the end of World War II in 1945, coinciding with the dominant military and economic position of the United States.
		During this period, no armed conflict has emerged among major Western nations themselves, and no strategic weapons been used, while the United States and its allies have been involved in various regional wars (such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War), and have maintained espionage and covert operations in various other areas.
		For example, it appears repeatedly in a September 2000 document, Rebuilding America's Defenses, by the Project for the New American Century, widely regarded as a neo-conservative think-tank.

		One period was a major exception-- the so-called Pax Britannica of the mid nineteenth century, when European states accepted a high degree of global economic integration fostered by a series of international regimes, in particular free trade and the gold standard.
		Even in the heyday of the Pax Britannica, globalist ideals were being attacked on behalf of pluralist and nationalistic principles.
		After an unstable interregnum, the Pax Britannica was followed by the Pax Americana of our own time, which we now presumably need to replace or remodel for a "new world order," lest we fall into a new interregnum.

		Pax Britannica began life in Burnley, Lancashire in the early 1980s, brainchild of former-policeman Steve Hezzlewood.
		Against the prevailing tide for 25mm and 15mm figures the company first produced a series of elegant 30mm figures that called to mind the work of Charles Stadden and Edward Suren, then in the autumn of 1984 they launched a 20mm range “sculpted to be compatible with the old Airfix 00 scale figures”.
		In October 1992 Wargames Illustrated carried an advert for Pax Britannica promising “We’re Back and for good!” and announcing a future 20mm range from Steve Hezzlewood that would be “of a quality surpassing previous ranges” as well as new 25mm and 35mm ranges.

		James Morris' PAX BRITANNICA, which uses the British Empire as it was in l900 as a framework, is the best work of popular history I've every read.
		Much of the pleasure (and credibility) of PAX BRITANNICA rests in the fact that Morris visited most of the places of empire and he describes many of them as they were when he was writing the book in the early 1970s.
		Although the first in the series to be written, chronologically, it falls between HEAVEN'S COMMAND, about the creation of the Empire, and FAREWELL THE TRUMPETS, about the loss of the empire.
