I'm still amazed my history GCSE, in the 90s, didn't cover the empire at all. You can't understand world history without the British Empire, let alone Britain's. It was agricultural and industrial revolutions. In complete isolation from the world, bar one mention of shipments of guano. Utter rubbish.
