By the beginning of the twentieth century, there were very few countries or people who had not been affected, one way or another, by the impact of the British. The Empire itself by then covered over a quarter of the world’s land surface, the Royal Navy dominated the oceans, and one in every four human beings lived under British rule. Yet despite all of this global power and the emergence of Britain by the beginning of the nineteenth century as the world’s first true superpower, the British Empire had very humble, small-scale origins. In the course, we shall proceed chronologically, but also look more closely at particular themes and countries. The course will not provide a fully comprehensive survey, an enormous task anyway; rather, we shall seek to uncover and understand the essential historical truths about this mightiest of empires Course Syllabus Lecture 1 The Tudor Empire from the Discovery of Newfoundland in 1497 to the Founding of Virginia and the Death of Elizabeth I in 1603 Lecture 2 Colonies in the New World Lecture 3 The British in India, c. 1600-1815 Lecture 4 The American Revolution and the Restructured Empire Lecture 5 Australia and New Zealand: Convicts, Settlers, and Self-Government Lecture 6 Ireland: Mother Country or Exploited British Colony?

This course will examine the development of the British Empire from the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, via its greatest territorial extent in 1919 to its eventual decline and end in the years after World War II, and its final transformation into the Commonwealth of independent nations. We shall examine the material advantages that the Empire brought to Britain, and also scrutinize the burdens and anxieties that it imposed. It is important to realize what an extraordinary, complex, and huge organization the British Empire was. One quarter of the human race lived within its borders and it covered about the same amount of the globe. We shall proceed chronologically, but also look closely at particular themes and interactions. Not every single unit in this huge global organization will be assessed, but we will seek to uncover the basic historical truths overall about what happened and why Course Syllabus Lecture 1 The Edwardian Empire, 1901–1914 Lecture 2 Making the Most of Empire, 1901–1914 Lecture 3 The Empire and WWI, 1914–1919 Lecture 4 The 1924 Wembley Empire Exhibition: Empire, Trade, Unity, and Disunity Lecture 5 Indian Nationalism and the British Raj, 1914–1939 Lecture 6 Sexuality and the British Empire Lecture 7 The First Commonwealth: Dominion Status, the Self-Governing Colonies and Their Relations with Britain Lecture 8 Sport and the British Empire Lecture 9 The Empire-Commonwealth and WWII Lecture 10 The Labour Government of 1945–1951 and the Empire-Commonwealth Lecture 11 “Winston’s Back!”: Churchill, the Conservatives, and Empire, 1951–1955 Lecture 12 The Suez Crisis of 1956–1957 and the “Wind of Change,” 1957–1963 Lecture 13 Labour Back in Power: The Wilson Government, 1964–1970 Lecture 14 Embracing the Commonwealth and Winding Down the Empire, 1970–Present
