A Short Walk through Our Long History
When we last looked at the British Empire, 15 !! Episodes ago, Queen Victoria was on the throne. And she still is. I mean, not today, today it’s King Charles and his weird red official portrait, but I mean Victoria is still queen at this point in our timeline. We did kind of spend a lot of episodes focusing on the American Civil War, but we really didn’t cover much time. I mean, it’s only 1877 or so. This brings up an important topic - who did the British support during the Civil War? Well, technically, neither side. They had their own Empire to look out for.
