How Did the British Empire Build the Modern World?

Available for over a year

At its height in 1922, the British Empire was the largest the world had ever seen, covering around a quarter of Earth's land surface and ruling over 458 million people - that's a lot of influence. Dan is joined by journalist and author Sathnam Sanghera to measure the impact the British Empire has had on our world, for better and for worse. Sathnam's new book for kids is called 'Journeys of Empire'. Produced by James Hickmann and McKenna Fernandez, and edited by Matthew Wilson and Dougal Patmore. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3Media. Dan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.
