What reading level is The Modern World, From Charlemagne to the Present Time; With a Preliminary Survey of Ancient Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
England interposed, put down the Zulus, and extended her authority once more over the Boer states.
In 1880 the Boers rebelled, and, with their magnificent marksman- ship, destroyed a British force at the battle of Majuba Hill. Gladstone adopted the view that the Boers had been wrongfully deprived of their independence, and, without attempting to avenge Majuba Hill, he magnanimously withdrew the British claims and left to the Boers of the Transvaal a virtual independence, under British " protect...ion." The exact relations between the two countries, however, were not well defined, and much ground was left for future disputes.
Soon afterward, gold was discovered in the Transvaal, and English and other foreigners rushed in, so as to outnumber the Boer citizens.
The Boers, who were simple farmers, unable themselves to develop the country, had at first invited immigrants, but soon became jealous of their growing numbers and refused them all political rights. England attempted to secure better treatment for her citizens among these new settlers, and was bent upon reasserting her authority in general.
