Empire of the Seas - Worksheets to support the BBC Dan Snow Documentary Ep.2,3 & 4. Written to support the Edexcel A level: Gaining and Losing an Empire -1763-1914 Ep.1 is free to download Ep2. - The Golden Ocean: In The Golden Ocean, Snow charts the period from 1690 to 1759 and reveals how England - soon to be Britain - and her Navy rose from the depths of military and economic disaster to achieve global supremacy. Ep.3 - High Tide: In the third programme in this epic four-part series on how the Navy has shaped modern Britain, Dan Snow sheds light on the evolution of Nelson’s Navy in the late 18th century. It was the most powerful maritime fighting force in the world, with highly trained crews and ambitious officers. He explores the national enterprise which supported it, and explains how the empire it helped create put Britain on the path to war with France. Ep4. - Sea Change: In the last of this four-part series, historian Dan Snow explores the ups and downs of a climactic century in naval and British history. Rapacious and ruthless, the 19th-century Navy used ‘gunboat diplomacy’ to push British interests further afield than ever before. It was control of the sea rather than her land empire that was the key to Britain’s growing wealth.

Worksheet to support the Olusoga BBC Documentary extract from BBC Teach The story of the Palatines who migrated to Britain in the 1700s Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - The story of the Palatines who migrated to Britain in the 1700s BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 / GCSE History > Migration Historian David Olusoga tells the story of the Palatines, one of a number of groups of European migrants who came to Britain in the 18th century to escape poverty, religious persecution and seek a better life. In 1709, in an area in Blackheath in south London, 13,000 German migrants called the Palatines formed what became regarded as Britain’s first refugee camp. They spoke different languages and belonged to different churches and became a curiosity for thousands of Londoners of the period. Most hoped to travel on to Carolina in the New World, after promises of work and prosperity, but in the end only a few made the trip to North America, and many returned to Germany. Olusoga meets Dr. Brodie Waddell from Birkbeck at the University of London, who is an expert on this period. This short film is from the BBC series, Migration. Written in Publisher and formatted to A3 the resource can be saved as a PDF for A4 printing Including a 15 question, multiple choice quiz for HW/Testing

BBC Teach - The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America Search - BBC Teach - Class Clips - History KS3 / GCSE: The story of British indentured workers emigrating to America Four hundred years ago all manner of children, teenagers, and young men and women, mainly from the poorest families, were sent, often against their will, to board ships leaving from Bristol across the Irish Sea, and into the Atlantic Ocean. They were sent to meet the growing demand for cheap labour in Britain’s newly created colonies in North America. From 1610 to American independence in 1776, half a million people left Britain for North America.Some were political and religious dissenters, like the Puritans, Quakers and the Irish and Scottish Presbyterians.And some were convicts, sent by the British government to clear out its overcrowded prisons. But around half - that’s a quarter of a million - were indentured servants. And most were sent against their will. In this short film David Olusoga meets writer Don Jordan, who tells the stories of some of these young people. This short film is from the BBC series, Migration Written in Publisher and formatted to A3 the resources can be saved as a PDF for A4 printing Including a 15 question, multiple choice quiz and answers for HW/Testing
