Synopsis

For better or worse, the British Empire was the largest empire in human history. Find out how the British cultivated their empire and raised it to magnificent heights.

In the Age of Exploration, the British began building an enormous and highly profitable foreign empire. While the British Empire initially lagged behind other European powers such as Spain and Portugal, it still managed to colonize the New World and discover highly-lucrative trade routes.

British colonies could be found on virtually any continent. For decades, colonialism was painted as the duty of the more advanced European civilizations. However, a darker truth lurked under the surface. Find out how Britain invaded, colonized, and ruled almost a quarter of the world’s land mass.

This audiobook will guide you through the rise and the fall of the mighty British Empire, including:

The Age of Exploration and how Britain expanded its empireBritish involvement in the slave tradeThe mystery behind the lost colony of RoanokeThe English civil wars and their impact on the empireA brief look at the Thirteen Colonies and how they achieved independenceA guide to Britain’s role in the Napoleonic WarsThe impact of both world wars on the British empireThe Suez Crisis and its aftermathRising nationalist movements in the 20th centuryA comprehensive explanation of the fall of the British EmpireAnd much, much more!
