Britain had the largest empire the earth has ever known. At onetime 25 % of the global land mass was British. Over the third of the world was insured at Lloyds. At his coronation, more than 400 million people saluted George V. Truly, sunlight never set on this historical phenomenon. Whatever the day, whatever the hour, somewhere on the globe, the empire worked and played the British game, often absurdly so. The storyline of the British Empire is one of enormous personalities, adventure, scientific and maritime development, and the building of 1 of the very most complex international administrations the earth has ever seen. The series shows the history of exploration from the 16th century, but moreover from the mid-18th century to the period shortly prior to the First World War.
