Why Did Europe Conquer the World? by Philip T. Hoffman is a work of economic history that examines how European powers came to dominate much of the globe between the late fifteenth century and the First World War. Rather than treating conquest as the inevitable result of geography, culture, disease, or the Industrial Revolution alone, Hoffman asks why European states developed a durable military advantage over other advanced regions of Eurasia. The book is part of the Princeton Economic History of the Western World series and uses comparative history, economic reasoning, and evidence about warfare, state rivalry, and technological change. Its central purpose is to explain why gunpowder weapons, fiscal capacity, and interstate competition advanced so rapidly in Europe. Hoffman presents European conquest not as a simple story of superiority, but as the outcome of specific political incentives that made war, military investment, and technological experimentation unusually persistent.
