From the eighteenth century until the 1950s the British Empire was
the biggest political entity in the world. The territories forming
this empire ranged from tiny islands to vast segments of the
world's major continental land masses. The British Empire left its
mark on the world in a multitude of ways, many of them permanent.
In this Very Short Introduction, Ashley Jackson introduces and
defines the British Empire, reviewing its historiography by
answering a series of key questions: What was the British Empire,
and what were its main constituent parts? What were the phases of
imperial expansion and contraction and the general causes of
expansion and contraction? How was the Empire ruled? What were its
economic effects? What were the cultural implications of empire, in
Britain and its colonies? What was life like for people living
under imperial rule? What are the legacies of the British Empire
and how should we view its place in world history? ABOUT THE
