I found that Wikipedia had no entry for Atlantic history so I whipped this up. It seems to have once existed and been deleted -- perhaps merged with another article? At any rate I think it clearly merits an entry, considering Wikipedia has discrete entries for numerous other historical subdisciplines (e.g. microhistory, cultural history, etc.).

See the deletion log entry; the previous entry was unusable. Graham87 14:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Atlantic World page makes a distinction between that concept and Atlantic history as its application. I thought there would be more on this topic by now. Some trends that I know about in Atlantic history are:

• extension into C20th and C21st (building on interactions etc. as a concept that does not suddenly stop but goes on to interact with globalisation etc.)
• inclusion of China's interactions (often neglected but important)
• demand for work from an African perspective (most of the established work is from a European or North America perspectives)
• rise of interest in Dutch (especially because of New Amsterdam) and Iberian Atlantic history
• most Atlantic history courses focus on either a comparison of colonial administrations OR slavery and resistance (from a NA or Euro p.o.v)

Would anyone agree? Spikedjam (talk) 09:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The post-Marxist book 'Empire' also talks about how the movement of political philosophy across the Atlantic influenced modern day political network systems, if that is of any interest. Spikedjam (talk) 12:15, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - I would support the proposed merger of Atlantic World here to Atlantic history. "Atlantic World" being historical, I do not think they are distinct enough concepts to need separate articles. Hoppingalong (talk) 03:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose they are related but different. The "Atlantic WORLD" article is about historical events centuries ago. It covers a great many historical events and countries and should have a broad appeal to many readers who like history. The "Atlantic HISTORY" article is about the ideas and research paradigms of historians and scholars in the last 25 or so years. It will appeal only to specialists and graduate students.

I feel as though this article is lacking a lot of information that could be included. While the information given includes a lot on who studies Atlantic history, it lacks in information on exactly what Atlantic history is. I propose working to add more information on what the Atlantic World is. Cholliman0919 (talk) 03:25, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
