I'm trying to make notes on what my professor labeled "European Ascendancy from 1815-1914", but I'm having a really tough time finding resources. Is "Pax Brittanica" the technical name for this? Or in other words the period from 1815-1914 where Britain was seen as the main superpower of the world, only to come to an end in 1914 when WWI started?
Has your professor given you anything else besides the label?
