Whatever happened to the British Empire?
14th December 2015
I really like this BBC iWonder interactive graphic with videos, podcasts, images and text about the rise and fall of the British Empire. The analysis of the Suez Crisis is particularly good, and a great way to explore the balance of global power and the hunt for propaganda during the Cold War.
