In this gallery you are going to examine how Britain, a
small country, came to rule a huge empire. The key question in this gallery
is: Why did the British become empire builders?
Many experts have suggested
possible answers to this question. They believe the people who built the
empire were motivated by: A) Trade, B) Politics, C) Religion, D) Ambition,
E) Adventure, F) Land.
Your task in this gallery is to examine how these motives
played a role in the growth of the empire. You will also look at whether
the motives of the empire builders were different in different places and
at different times in the history of the empire. |
