Author(s): Faroqhi, Suraiya

1. StädtelandschaftWie die meisten Imperien umfasste das Osmanische Reich (= O. R.) nicht eine einzige, sondern mehrere G.

1. Introduction 1.1. European expansion in the context of world historyEuropean expansion from the mid-16th century is rightly regarded as a key event of world history in the early modern period and of epoch-making significance. It is of relevance to Europe itself, doing much to shape its power structures, economy, politics and world view.
