Wars of Empire

The purpose of this blog will to chronicle wars of Imperial conquest throughout history, as well as native resistance to colonial empires in the numerous 'small wars' of the 18th and 19th Centuries.  My specialities are the Roman Empire in the 1st-3rd Centuries CE, and the European and North American powers in the 19th Century.

'Wars of Empire' can certainly embrace a wide range of topics - from the Jewish Revolts against ancient Rome, to the American Revolution, to the Crimean War.  The focus of this blog will be on smaller wars, however, or on specific individuals or incidents (battles, treaties, causes of war, native cultures, etc.) to be described in detail, and, hopefully, provide any potential readers with a deeper and easily-accessible source for understanding the subject.
