Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Colonial History The sixteenth century, when the various nations began to come into con ict over the Opportunities that existed for further expansion, it becomes an important part of their political history. Naval history and colonial history are so closely connected throughout this early period that they practically form one subject. At a later date, when settled communities had been founded across the sea, _ there is a side of colonial history that comes closely into contact with the Constitutional history of certain nations, and notably of Spain, Holland and Britain. Thus the whole subject must be con Sidered with historical settihg/ against the European background, and it is necessary to have a general knowledge of the history of the nations concerned before the profitable study of colonial history can be undertaken. The subject has frequently been confused with the history of colonies, and has thus often become merely a collection of disconnected narratives of events in certain of the European communities beyond the sea, and treated in little relation with the rest of the world; it is in reality something quite different and much broader in character, and deals with the sequence of domestic events in the 'various oversea communities only when those events had' some direct bearing Upon the common life of the empires concerned or upon the general history of the maritime nations. Its main concern is to trace out the development of European activity beyond the sea and to examine the history of the interaction of the European with the less civilised races.8 the study OF colonial' history.
