Making of the British Empire (A.D. 1714-1832)
Written by Arthur Hassall, 'Making of the British Empire (A.D. 1714-1832)' examines the expansion of the British Empire during the long 18th century, from the establishment of Sir Robert Walpole's ministry to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. It highlights key figures such as Lord Clive and William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, who played crucial roles in military victories and territorial expansion. This work provides insight into the Empire's growth, including the challenges faced after losing the American colonies and its dominance at sea by the early 19th century.
