Histoire
Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

Histoire
Following the surge of interest and pride in Celtic identity since the 19th century, much of what we thought we knew about the Celts has been radically transformed. In The Celtic World, discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language, and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 enlightening lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand-new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that totally changes our perspective on where the Celts came from.

Description
What were the forces that thrust the British Empire to its extraordinary position of greatness and then just as powerfully drove it into decline? And why is nearly every nation on earth, in one way or another, the consequence of the British Empire?
In these 36 lectures, Professor Allitt leads you through four centuries of British power, innovation, influence, and, ultimately, diminishment - four profound centuries that literally remade the world and bequeathed the complex global legacy that continues to shape your everyday life. This is a remarkable lecture series; one that will give you fresh insights into world history in a wide range of areas - political, economic, technological, social, and more. And it will also give you a comprehensive overview you won't find offered anywhere else - a context into which you can integrate new knowledge about this country, as well as understand the background of current events in so many other countries that were once part of Britain's empire, from Ireland to China, and in Africa and the Caribbean. Indeed, it seems fair to say that one cannot truly understand the most important aspects of world history without a firm grasp of the history of the British Empire. In giving you that grasp, these lectures draw on a vast range of critical events, riveting personalities, revealing anecdotes, and eloquent quotations.
Compelling, comprehensive, and astonishing in the force of its narrative power, each lecture will give you a refreshing new understanding of what made the British Empire both great in its achievements and vulnerable to its eventual downfall.

A good overview
Overall, this was an interesting and thorough overview of the British Empire. It’s a wide-ranging subject - a wide geographical scope requiring the professor to deal with the internal issues, politics, events of many countries as well as the ongoing international and regional contexts. It’s presented for an American, or possibly North American, and modern audience - the professor includes analogies that will appeal to this audience. Note that it was recorded in 2008 and so is out of date with respect to more modern sensitivities. As a Canadian, it was a bit unfortunate that some names were mispronounced, like the group of indigenous peoples called Métis, and also that there was no mention of Asian immigration in the Canadian West. But I learned a lot of global history and context that I am very grateful for.

A bit too glorifying
Informative but very pro empire. he claims to take a middle ground but definitely focuses a lot on "benefits". A bit dated in 2023

Dr. Allitt is an excellent lecturer!
Partisans are bound to be offended by the balanced approach of this course. Informative history of our complicated past.

Good breadth of topics and very interesting
The course is broken down into manageable and coherent chapters that cover a wide variety of colonial histories and also explores important but often overlooked aspects of history like sport and literature. Towards the end the course dates itself slightly with comments about moving towards a united Europe but in the grand scheme of the course this is very minor.

Bourgeois propaganda
This “course” from the first “lecture” is nothing but bourgeois propaganda. Full of horseshoe theory nonsense and capitalist apologetics.

mentions a lot of deeply racist people, and immediately says that they aren't racist because of what was going on in their era.
