The Penguin Historical Atlas of the British Empire traces the
emergence of the world's greatest empire from its earliest
beginnings in the British Isles, through its ascendancy in
Victorian times, to its ultimate collapse in the mid-20th century.
It examines the impact of British dominance in America, India and
Africa, and the enormous changes brought by Britain's settlement of
Australasia. Coverage of major events - the colonization of
Ireland, the American Revolution, the South African wars - is
complemented by discussion of themes such as Imperial exploitation
and trade, hunting for plants and animals, the Imperial exhibitions
and the importance of British naval power. Also assessed are the
impact of the Empire on different areas of the world and the legacy
it has bestowed. Richly illustrated with photographs and
full-colour maps, this is an illuminating and multi-faceted
one-volume introduction to the rise and fall of the British Empire.
