Colonialism, Slavery and the Industrial Revolution

This history teaching pack explores the relationship between Britain's Industrial Revolution and colonialism in the Caribbean, Ireland and India. The pack is organised into four units: Britain's Industrial Revolution which explores the wealth that Britain obtained by trade and colonialism in the 18th and 19th centuries; Britain's connection with the Caribbean and West Africa; the Relationship between Ireland and India and the Industrial Revolution in Britain; the final unit draws a number of the main themes together and examines the Great Exhibition of 1851. An extremely useful resource that covers a number of very complex and difficult areas very well. The use of a range of source material in particular is very effective.
