Cover Notes
Up to World War 2 and beyond, the British ruled over a vast empire. modern western attitudes towards the imperial past tend either towards nostalgia for British power or to revulsion at what seem to be the abuses of that power. The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire adopts neither of these approaches. It aims to create historical understanding about the British empire on the assumption that such understanding about the british empire on the assumption that such understanding is important for any informed appreciation of the modern world.
