uh not entirely sure how to rate textbooks but this one was ok.
My biggest issue is just the lack of like non-European information. It is heavily focused on European actions and other continents do not get even half as much attention. China might be the one that gets the most, but even that is just a page or two compared to like the 10 pages Western powers get every chapter. I don't think any country south of the US border even got mentioned unless it was about the rise of colonialism or a dictatorship. And that was just one sentence and not ever elaborated on. Yeah the West were some of the strongest powers, but the face that so many colonial holdings got like no information about them is just sad.
