The impact of the British Empire is a contentious topic among historians. In the C19th and first half of the C20th most British people believed their Empire was beneficial to its subjects. But in the last half century views of the Empire have become much more critical. The question is complicated by the fact that the experience of the Empire was so different in different geographies. This introductory ebook compares the experiences of four very different colonial possessions: Ireland, India, Australia, and the Caribbean. It will help you make up your own mind.
