"King Edward's Realm: Story of the Making of the Empire" by C. S. Dawe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book likely delves into the factors that led to the expansion of the British Empire, illustrating the significant events and individuals instrumental in this process. It aims to provide an engaging narrative to readers interested in the history of English colonization and imperial progression. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by examining the astonishing growth of the British Empire, which spans one-sixth of the globe, and emphasizes the importance of knowledge and innovation, particularly highlighting the invention of the printing press and advancements in warfare with firearms. Dawe discusses the impact of these developments on national identity and unity, asserting that the British Empire, while geographically scattered, is interconnected through trade and shared cultural bonds. The narrative introduces the pioneering spirit of explorers and mariners who sought new territories, ultimately positioning England as a formidable global power.
