The Unfinished Empire

About This Novel
The British Empire in Darwin's eyes was not only created by kings and conquerors but also by the ambition and enterprising spirit of countless individuals. These people include businessmen, investors, immigrants, missionaries, etc. It is their various interests and demands that together form a complex relationship in which each has its own agenda. It was these pioneers or colonists who left Britain and went to various countries around the world who shaped the world in their vastly different ways: getting involved in the politics of each continent, laying the political model for modern countries, cultural migration based on their mother tongue, and the penetration and spread of various technologies and values... Why did such a great empire not continue to prosper or was it never truly established? There are so many native English-speaking people living in every corner of the world, controlling economic and political entities of different natures, but why are their ideological differences so great and even at odds with each other? Was the British Empire in history the destroyer of culture or the creator of global integration? What profound impact did it have on then, now and in the future? From the blazing ambition to dominate the world to the helpless disillusionment of the imperial dream, this book takes us into each historical scene to gain an in-depth understanding of the past of the British Empire's global expansion and its profound impact on today's world and even the future.
