Description
|
|
|
|
The American road to empire started when the first English settlers landed in Virginia, posits business and public policy advisor Brian Landers. Simultaneously, the first Russians crossed the Urals and began to subdue northern Asia through conquest of the native peoples. Landers compares the history of the Americans and Russians from the era of the Vikings to the present day, arguing that the two empires developed in parallel as they expanded to the Pacific and launched wars against the nations around them, both developing an imperial "ideology" that was central to the way they perceived themselves, both believing in their manifest destiny.
