In the "Seven Seas," whose scope expanded with the times, maritime nations that dominated the sea routes and trade networks held sway, rewriting world history. From the Roman Empire, the Islamic Empire, and the Mongol Empire, to the Age of Exploration in the 15th century, and then to the Netherlands, the British Empire, and the United States. This is the first world history viewed from the perspective of sea power, from the long era of sailing ships to the modern era, which was accelerated by steamships in the late 19th century. ■ About the Author: Masakatsu Miyazaki Born in 1942.
