À propos de ce contenu audio

Tobacco, sugar, rum, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, spices, industry, borders, slavery, war - all things spread across the globe thanks to the British Empire. At its height in 1922, it was the largest empire 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 worse.


Sathnam's new book for kids is called 'Journeys of Empire'.


Produced by James Hickmann, McKenna Fernandez and edited by Matthew Wilson and Dougal Patmore.
