Abstract
The introduction sets out the aims and the argument of the study. The book’s purpose is to survey the different forms of European involvement in and with the British Empire and, where possible, to assess their significance. It also considers the consequences of foreign participation for the character of the empire. The argument is that continental European involvement was in some areas important; that it helped the British to defend, consolidate, and expand their empire; that it was facilitated by a combination of transnational non-governmental networks and state action; that it usually served British ends; and that it was largely directed and willed by Britons at home or in imperial sites.
