Cruinne bho thràth san fhicheadamh linn

This globe provides an insight into the colonial geography of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At its height in 1922, the British empire covered around a quarter of the Earth’s surface, ruling over 458 million people – it is said that the sun never set on the British empire.   

Ma choimheadas tu gu dlùth air a’ chruinne seo, chì thu mar a tha dùthchannan agus mòr-thìrean air atharrachadh thar nam bliadhnaichean. Ged a tha taobh an iar na Roinn Eòrpa gu ìre mhòr gun atharrachadh, tha Afraga air a mhìneachadh le colonachd Eòrpach: French West Africa, Belgian Congo, Italian Somaliland, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Tha na h-ainmean sin a’ cur nar cuimhne na dòigh anns an do dh’fheuch dùthchannan Eòrpach ri smachd fhaighinn air dùthchannan eile air feadh na cruinne, cho anmoch ris an fhicheadamh linn.
