How did technology affect the British Empire?
In both the formal and informal British Empire, in temperate and tropical colonies, their transfer gave Imperial agents more scope for intervention. Technologies empowered the metropole but also, to some degree, strengthened the periphery. They also led diverse peoples to pursue the same material ends by employing similar techniques.
Was the British Empire a system of exploitation?
If the Empire was a system of exploitation, it was a very inept one. The British paid far more in tax than their European counterparts, much of it for imperial defence, while subjects of the Empire paid less tax than people outside it.
What is the British Empire interpretations activity?
This is an interpretations activity on the British Empire which guides students through existing academic interpretations to the evidence they need to decide for themselves. There is guided reading, evidence sorting and a creative outcome task– designing an Empire map to reflect students' own views. Great at the end of KS3 enquiry.
How did the British Empire get its power?
The British Empire was very unconventional in how it obtained its power. As great empires before it often seemed to rely somewhat on the strength of their armies. This was very much the case for Rome, the Mongols, the French and German empires for example.
