Chatham's Colonial Policy - A Study in the Fiscal and Economic Implications of the Colonial Policy of the Elder Pitt

Chatham''s Colonial Policy (1917) examines Britain’s colonial plans and ambition in the mid-eighteenth century, under the leadership of the Earl of Chatham – William Pitt the Elder. It analyses his policies for British control around the world, most notably in the West Indies, North America, Africa and India, and how these policies brought Britain into conflict with Europe’s two main colonial powers, Spain and France.
