Historical Dictionary of Canada, 2nd Edition
ISBN: 9780810854963 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once on the margins of European empires, notably those of France, England and Spain, then a focus of international rivalries and wars during the 18th century, Canada is now a nation that is front and center in the world's affairs.

The studies collected here trace how, under the influences of the Royal Navy and British statecraft, the British came to dominate the area, with expeditions sent from London, Bombay and Macau, and the Canadian quest from overland.
