Description

Two manuscripts in one book:

• The British Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Largest Empire in History and its Impact on the Age of Discovery, Transatlantic Slave Trade, the Americas, India, World War 1 and more

• Queen Victoria: A Captivating Guide to the Queen of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland along with Her Impact on the Victorian Era

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. However, a darker truth lurked under the surface. Find out how Britain invaded, colonized, and ruled almost a quarter of the world's land mass.

In part one of this book, you will learn about:

• The Age of Exploration and how Britain expanded its empire

• Rising nationalist movements in the 20th century

• A comprehensive explanation of the fall of the British Empire

People all over the world are fascinated with royalty. And Queen Victoria herself, despite being gone for over 120 years, still holds us spellbound when we consider her life and legacy. She came to power during a time of great change. Technological change in the form of new inventions and rapid industrialization were taking place, as well as the great political changes that were occurring in governance.
