Summary/Abstract: There were two types of empires in the world from 1850-1918. The first is the empire familiar to modern students of imperialism. The Western European maritime empires have their origins in the sixteenth century and, by 1900, had become the world’s leading industrial and financial powers. Britain was the model empire of this type, while the French and Dutch were smaller variations on the same theme. By 1914, Germany and the United States, while differing in important respects from the classical Western European maritime empires, still fell into this category of polity.
