but what i realise with the empire world, travelling to mauritius and nigeria and barbados and india, is that the legacies are profoundly contradictory. so, the british empire resulted in quite a lot of democracy around the world — australia, singapore and so on. it also resulted in a huge amount of geopolitical chaos, it spread slavery, it also spread anti—slavery, it spread the free press, it spread press censorship, it destroyed the environment in massive ways, but it also led to the birth of modern environmentalism. so these legacies are much more contradictory than i expected when i started myjourney into this history. some of that is just happenstance and unintended consequences. surely you're trying to get to sort of core motivations for the british imperial experience? there weren't any core motivations in the sense that it was such a sprawling history, covered such a wide geographical area. it's very hard to generalise — whatever you say about the british empire, you can say the opposite to a certain degree. a man in india in the early 20th century might have had a real
