Year 8 Unit 1 - British Empire

Britain used to control the largest empire the world has ever seen. Canada, India, South Africa, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand - all were coloured red on the map. Britain ruled the waves. How? Why? And why did it come to an end? All of this will be considered alongside the big question - was the Empire a good thing or should Britain apologise to the world?
