David Olusoga reveals how the Empire reached its maximum size after the First World War, but within a generation had begun to collapse, as he uncovers the story of decolonisation.
David Olusoga explores the contested histories and modern hybrid identities that were left behind when, after four centuries, the British Empire finally came to an end, just decades after reaching its maximum size in the wake of the First World War.
And he reveals how members of his own family were connected to the Empire as both colonisers and colonised, showing that this controversial and complex story is in many ways a messy and shared history.
