Expansion and Empire

In the 19th century the British were involved in a number of colonial wars in Africa, ending with the Boer War in 1899-1902. They also fought Indian forces in the 1857 Rebellion, which was also known as the Indian Mutiny. None of these wars caused any major migrations to or from Britain.
