British Empire

That was what it was called. I'll be doing a class for the seniors next fall. I have some video ready. Most of it is related to Queen Victoria. I won't focus on her too much. They can watch the Netflix biography.

It will be on colonialism. I have this book as my general outline. Plus a very short Oxford book, about 200 pages. I will use lots and lots of historical atlases, which are all out of print now.

If you're doing colonialism you'll need to cover The East India Company.
