Threads

  • Empire, persecution and resistance

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the similarities and differences between decolonisation in various parts of the British Empire. They examine this process in Ireland, India, Palestine, Africa and the Caribbean, providing them with ample knowledge to compare the experiences of each.

This unit uses and builds on all previous units that focused on the British Empire, and the concept of empire, that are spread across key stages 1, 2 and 3. This unit prepares pupils for the following unit where pupils' knowledge of imperial developments is complemented by an understanding of the social, economic and political changes that took place in Britain.

  1. Decolonisation in Ireland in the 20th century
  2. Decolonisation and the partition of India
  3. Decolonisation in Palestine after the Second World War
  4. Post-war decolonisation in Africa
  5. Decolonisation in the Caribbean
  6. Comparing decolonisation across the former British Empire

  • Pupils know that Great Britain had a large empire.
  • Pupils know that Great Britain no longer has an empire.
  • Pupils know that the legacy of the British Empire is contested.
