In this programme we discover how a few thousand British people ruled over India, a country of more than 250 million people and the centre point of the whole British empire. Niall Ferguson demonstrates the vital role played by the Indian army both within India and beyond, and the role of British technology in developing the army and modern Indian cities. Modern-day footage of the hill station at Simla gives us a glimpse of colonial life in late 19th century India. From the early 19th century an elite class of well-educated Indians was encouraged, with men like JN Bose becoming successful lawyers and administrators. In fact, the British administrators were so few in number that it was essential to involve Indian people in their own government. Yet by the end of the 19th century the White Mutiny threatened to end this liberal attitude and ultimately led to a genuine Nationalist movement. Looking at the Caribbean in the same period, Niall explores the conditions for black people after the abolition of slavery and the treatment of respectable black religious leaders such as George William Gordon.

Following the religious revival that started in the late 18th century, missionaries began working in Africa and India in an attempt to bring Christianity and civilization to societies perceived as heathens. We learn of David Livingstone’s adventures in Africa as he attempted to link the three 'C’s - Christianity, commerce and civilization. From his discovery of the Victoria Falls to his famous meeting with Henry Stanley, we follow the career of this fascinating character. Presenter Niall Ferguson also travels to India and examines the changing attitudes towards Indian religions and culture during the 19th century. He also traces the Indian mutiny of 1857 and its brutal aftermath in which thousands were brutally killed.

The concept of ‘plantation’ is explored in this program, yet presenter Niall Ferguson is not referring to crops but the settlement of British people into the colonies. Without this mass white emigration there would have been no empire. Visiting Northern Ireland, the USA and Australia, we explore how the first colonies of the British empire developed. In contrast to the Spanish, the British viewed the colonies as a way to gain land to settle on and use, rather than just conquest and plunder. The east coast of the USA was first settled by puritans wanting religious freedom, including those who sailed on the famous ship ‘The Mayflower’ in 1620. The combination of cheap land and abundant natural resources made this an ideal location for sugar and tobacco plantations. Niall goes on to describe the American War of Independence a century and a half later. From Native American Indians to the Aborigines of Australia, the indigenous people of the ‘New World’ were treated appallingly, with little or no respect for land rights. One of the great ironies of the British empire is the difference between official policy in London and the actions of white settlers in the colonies.

BBC Teach Class Clips - Why did Britain need a better road network? - Worksheet to support the BBC video
In the early 1700s Britain’s road networks were simply not up to the task of moving the goods around the country which needed to be moved.
Most of the roads were ancient, potholed and too small for modern business to be carried out.
As Britain began to industrialise, this lack of transport made it very difficult to transport raw materials like coal or cotton.
It was especially difficult for a businessman like Josiah Wedgwood, who reckoned that he sometimes lost one third of his shipments of pottery on Britain’s terrible roads.
In 1706 Parliament passed the Turnpike Act which allowed private road builders to build new roads and charge tolls for using them.
It was a first, important step towards the road transport network we know in Britain today.
This short film is from the BBC series, Why the Industrial Revolution Happened Here.

BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: Small Axe - The Mangrove Nine
Rochenda Sandall, who plays one of The Mangrove Nine in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe, tells the true story of this significant event in black British history.
The Mangrove restaurant was opened in March, 1969, by Trinidadian Frank Crichlow. The restaurant became a home from home for the black community in Notting Hill.
It attracted artists, musicians and activists from around the world. Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Hendrix, Nina Simone, Diana Ross and the Supremes, all congregated at the Mangrove to enjoy Caribbean food.
But the Mangrove restaurant became a target for the police, which ended up destroying it.
