The British Empire traces the growth of Britain’s overseas power through trade, settlement, conquest and naval expansion, then follows the varied systems of colonial rule that developed across the world. It examines India, the settler colonies, Africa and other imperial regions alongside resistance, rebellion and collaboration. The book concludes with decolonisation and the empire’s contested legacy, including the political, economic and cultural relationships that survived formal independence.
