Abstract
Abstract The final chapter provides three snapshots from the middle of the eighteenth century in areas similar to those discussed in the main chapters of this volume—Southeast Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and West Africa—to show how the cross-cultural alliances operated in ways that differed from the earlier cases in the seventeenth century. The English corporate officials in each did not feel compelled to respond to the non-European actors pressurising them. The chapter suggests that this change marks the beginning of British Empire. The chapter offers a summary of the argument of the book.
