Excerpt from The Livecode Team newsletter:
Several members of our team have been enjoying the Empire podcast recently with
William Dalrymple and Anita Anand. This explores how empires rise, why they
fall and how they have shaped the world around us today. The series covers THE
RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE as well as the Ottoman Empire, with
episodes around iconic events such as the fall of Constantinople and the Indian
Mutiny among many others.
When exactly did the British Empire fall?? I thought it was still a thing?
