Publisher's summary

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.
