In the eighteenth century, as European powers competed for colonies, markets, and sea-lanes, commerce grew less secure. Naval warfare, blockades, privateering, and imperial rivalry disrupted trade, while the fiscal and military costs of protecting it soared. War, revolt, regime collapse, and the violent breakup of empires wiped out vast accumulations of mercantile wealth and pushed capitalism into systemic crisis. This talk explores how this escalating strain helped produce the Age of Revolutions. A Talk by Dr. John Shovlin (NYU) Tuesday, March 10, 2026 NVC 11-155 12:30-2:00 PM Reception to follow in NVC 5-263 (History Department) Sponsored by the History Department and Globus Seminar Series
