Burrows begins by examining the rise of British power in India, tracing the history of the East India Company and its eventual takeover by the British government. He then moves on to explore other areas of imperial expansion, including Africa, Australia, and Canada. The book also covers the impact of imperialism on the British economy, as well as the social and cultural changes that occurred as a result of colonialism.Throughout the book, Burrows emphasizes the role of individual leaders and politicians in shaping imperial policy, including figures such as Lord Palmerston, Benjamin Disraeli, and William Gladstone. He also discusses the debates and controversies surrounding imperialism, including criticisms of British treatment of indigenous peoples and the morality of colonialism.Overall, Imperial England provides a comprehensive overview of England’s imperial history, offering insights into the motivations and consequences of British expansionism. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of imperialism and its impact on the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
