Global Expansion
In this reassessment of British Imperialism, Thompson examines the underlying social, economic and political forces that facilitated expansion from 1870-1914. He emphasises that the Empire was first and foremost established by predatory methods to fulfil the financial goals of imperial power without regard to the welfare of indigenous peoples.
