Best-seller du XVIIIème siècle, l’Histoire philosophique et politique des établissements et du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes, plus communément connue sous le nom d’Histoire des deux Indes, est une encyclopédie sur le commerce européen en extrême-orient, publiée sans nom d’auteur à Amsterdam en 1770 et attribuée à l’abbé Raynal. Elle connut un succès considérable et de nombreuses éditions. L’idée de l’abbé Raynal (Ami de Diderot et de Franklin) était de faire l’histoire des entreprises européennes dans l’Inde orientale et dans le Nouveau Monde, en montrant l’influence des grandes découvertes géographiques sur la civilisation. Après avoir parlé des Portugais et de leurs colonies en Orient, l’auteur faisait l’histoire des établissements fondés par les Anglais et les Français, puis par les Espagnols et les Hollandais, dans la même contrée. Il passait ensuite aux conquêtes des Européens dans l’Amérique en faisant ressortir les atrocités de la traite des esclaves sur les côtes de Guinée et en présentant le tableau des colonies anglaises et françaises d’Amérique du Nord. À ce tableau, Raynal faisait succéder une série d’essais sur la religion, la politique, la guerre, le commerce, la philosophie morale, les belles-lettres, etc. L’Histoire des deux Indes répondait aux besoins de connaissances du public des "Lumières"soulevait les questions qui préoccupaient le XVIIIe siècle, à la veille de la Révolution.
