THE BRITISH EMPIRE: THE SUN THAT NEVER SET

from History Mystery · host History Mystery

Episode 9 | Human History — Civilizations & EmpiresIn this History episode we focus on the British Empire — the largest empire in history, which at its peak controlled a quarter of all the land on earth and a quarter of all the people on earth.This episode covers everything from Francis Drake's privateering to the East India Company to the Amritsar Massacre to Gandhi's salt march to the partition of India to the handover of Hong Kong. What it built. What it took. And why both are true.The sun never sets on the British Empire's legacy. The question of whether that's a gift or a wound depends on which side of it you're standing on.#HistoryMystery #BritishEmpire #ColonialHistory #HistoryPodcast #WorldHistory
