Product Description

A lavishly presented atlas covering the many battles and campaigns that defined the reign of Queen Victoria. In 1815 the Treaty of Vienna concluded the Napoleonic Wars and provided the basis for a general European peace that lasted for nearly a hundred year.Great Britain’s last European rival for Empire and global domination had been neutralised, and between 1815 and 1901 – Britain's imperial century – around ten million square miles of territory and roughly 400 million people were added to the British Empire. British forces were engaged in action on every day of Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901) somewhere across the world, and these conflicts are explained and illustrated in this definitive atlas.Over this so-called period of Pax Britannica, the British Government awarded some 43 campaign medals with a total of 202 clasps for copious small wars, fought against irregular forces, as well as larger scale conflicts fought against regular armies.Featuring over 135 newly created maps, all expertly explained and put into context in the accompanying text, this beautifully presented atlas examines the role Victoria’s Army, and to a lesser extent the Royal Navy in the execution of their role as Soldiers of the Queen in the inspiring victories and dismal defeats of what Rudyard Kipling called the ‘savage wars of peace’.
