The book "After Tamerlane" explores the history of empires that aimed to leave an indelible mark on the world, such as those of Tamerlane, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the Manchus, the British, the Soviets, the Japanese, and the Nazis. John Darwin reveals how the process of empire-building created the world we know today. From the death of Tamerlane in 1405 to the rise and fall of European empires and the growing colonial presence of America, as well as the resurgence of India and China as global economic powers, the book offers a fascinating perspective on the past, present, and future of empires.
