How did a corporation operating out of a London office only five windows wide take over the richest country in the world? And how did a small nation become the largest empire in history? Why did it come crashing down and why do most of us not know anything about it? I'm Anita Arnon. And I'm William Durrumpal. And this is Empire. We'll be exploring how empires rise and fall.
and how they've shaped the world around us today. And we're starting with the story of the British in India, from the East India Company to the Raj to Gandhi, independence and partition. Empire, available now wherever you get your podcasts.
