Summary
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
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.
In part one of this book, you will learn about:
- British involvement in the slave trade
- The mystery behind the lost colony of Roanoke
- The English civil wars and their impact on the empire
- A guide to Britain’s role in the Napoleonic Wars
- The Suez Crisis and its aftermath
The mysterious thought processes of historical luminaries such as Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill in the chapters that are yet to come.
In that case, you should brace yourself for revelations that will not only educate you but also contradict the assumptions you've made.
