Pax Britannica (Latin for "the British Peace", modelled after Pax Romana) refers to a period of British imperialism after the 1815 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.
This led to the spread of the English language, parliamentary democracy, technology, the British Imperial system of measures, and rules for commodity markets based on English common law.

 Origin of the cyathium-bearing Euphorbieae (Euphorbiaceae): phylogenetic study based on morphological characters
This interpretation is also supported by Pax (1924), whose idea of relationships in Euphorbiaceae indicates that Hippomaneae is most closely related to Euphorbieae.
A recent molecular phylogenetic study (Wurdack and Chase, 1999) suggests that Webster's subfamily Euphorbioideae is not monophyletic and that Stomatocalyceae is excluded from the subfamily.
Its habit, colored latex, and oily endosperm (Webster, 1994b) require additional comparison to taxa outside of Euphorbioideae such as Acalyphoideae to determine whether Stomatocalycinae may be part of the tribe Omphaleae or Plukenetieae in Acalyphoideae.

 | Review | The History Teacher, 39.1 | The History Cooperative
The Mongol era, in this sense, most deserves to be called the Pax Mongolica or the Pax Tartarica.
Chapter six, which should probably have come last or as a postscript, offers a historical parallel of the Mongol policy toward Iran and George W. Bush's policy after September 11 toward Iraq.
