My aim is to avoid presenting the concept of British Empire as a single linear, undifferentiated process of oppression. This is not to deny that oppression and violence were heavily involved at certain points; nor is the aim to argue that the Empire was beneficial in some ways. It is suggested that to understand the complex historical phenomenon of Britain’s empire, we need to consider multiple factors, not all of which had the same weight all the time.
