The Rise & Fall of the British Empire Videos

History: World History: The Rise & Fall of the British Empire Video Collection

Learn about the rise and fall of one of history's most glorious empires and its legacies in the colonies it once held. Use these 2 online educational video titles to learn how the small island-nation of Great Britain came to rule a vast empire covering more than one-quarter of the world. Our video presentations trace the rise of the British Empire--from its acquisition of new territories in the 16th Century, to its end in the 20th Century, when its colonies gained independence and the Empire declined. Uncover the legacies of British rule in its former colonies.

Learning Objectives:

• Survey the economic and political factors that motivated the small island-nation of Great Britain to build a vast colonial empire with subjects in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the present-day nations of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States
• Trace the rise of the once-mighty British Empire from the British exploration of the high seas in search of new markets and wealth through three centuries of colonial acquisitions
• Examine the impact of industrialization on the growth of British trade during the nineteenth century and learn how colonial rule affected the life of Britain's social classes
• Discuss the factors that led to the local support of independence movements by Britain's colonial subjects and the subsequent decline of the British Empire in the twentieth century
• Gain insight to the legacies of British rule in that empire's former colonial possessions

• Before Zane launched this online video service, our school and homeschool customers paid approximately $14.99 for each of our 250 CD-ROM titles which meant a total cost of $3,750 for the entire library. Our new online video subscription service now enables our customers to use exactly the same K12 material online on those 250 CD-ROM titles but now in video format, for as little as $17.99 per month or $197.89 per year (yes, you even get one month free with our annual service). This means a discount and saving of over 93%.

• The TOPIC TASTER MEMBERSHIP is designed to enable customers to study one Topic at a time for a period of 30 days, however it is likely to be of most use to teachers that want to use our videos in the classroom in situations where the school has not yet purchased a School Subscription License. TOPIC TASTER Membership costs barely anything, $5 a month, even a student could afford this themselves on an allowance or from their paper round, and that's exactly the point, this option is made available primarily as a service to help students with homework on a specific topic and to give teachers or parents the ability to test out our services, take a taster of our videos for review, before commiting to a Full Membership.

• Zane retains the right to vary membership prices as an when required without providing notification to customers.
