PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In the early 20th century, Great Britain maintained dozens of colonies throughout the world. Using rare and unique documentary footage along with actual eyewitness accounts, The British Empire in Color brings history alive by telling the story of the decline of this vast imperial power. The three-part series highlights the modern independence movements in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and relates that despite British attempts at modernization, many nations continue to cope with problems inherited from their colonial past. Teacher's Guides are included and available online.
