This volume begins with chapters that examine the empires of East and Central Asia from 645-1795, Muslim empires of Asia from 1300 to the 1760s, and political upheaval in the Atlantic world. Additional chapters address the early Industrial Revolution in England, industry and inequality, the rising American empire, the causes of World War II, the emergence of the Cold War, globalization and its discontents from 2000-2020, and more. Images, maps, and discussion questions throughout inspire student engagement and support the overall learning experience. Wealth, Power, and Inequality in World History Vol. 2 is the second installment in a two-book series. The books are well suited for introductory courses in world history.
