Compare British Routes to India by Halford Lancaster Hoskins, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

First published in 1928, this volume examines the routes to India which originated as a means of communication and casual trading voyages in the late 18thcentury but which evolved under European imperialism, adding vast significance and definite lines of access alongside economic and social uses in times of peace, strategic access in times of war and acting as political objects on all occasions. Halford Lancaster Hoskins responded to the solicitude of the Powers of Europe in relation to countries in the eastern Mediterranean, which had been a conspicuous feature of international relations since the rise of the Eastern Question. | British Routes to India by Halford Lancaster Hoskins, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
