"_With a specific focus on France, Belgium, and Great Britain, this article argues that the revolutions of 1830 were not simply events coincidentally affected by their imperial context, but were themselves transformative of the imperial landscape. They gave a boost to European expansion, ushered in more direct forms of colonial dominion, and initiated an era of heightened trans-imperial co-operation._"
