6 lessons

Threads

  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the origins of British rule in India and how this was challenged by rebellion. They also examine Britain's role in the scramble for Africa and the Boer War, reflecting on what sources can tell them about the expansion of the Empire.

This unit uses and builds on the previous key stage 4 unit which focused on migration in the early modern period. It enriches pupils' knowledge and understanding of Britain's empire which they learnt about in years 8 and 9. This unit prepares pupils for the next, where migration from and within the British Empire is examined in greater depth.
