The British Empire is the most extensive empire in world history and for a time was the foremost global power. It was a product of the European age of discovery, which began with the global maritime explorations of Portugal and Spain in the late fifteenth century.

Introduction. British Empire, overseas territories linked to Great Britain in a variety of constitutional relationships, established over a period of three centuries. The establishment of the empire resulted primarily from commercial and political motives and emigration movements; its long endurance resulted from British command of the seas and preeminence in international commerce, and from the flexibility of British rule. At its height in the late 19th and early 20th cent., the empire included territories on all continents, comprising about one quarter of the world's population and area. Probably the outstanding impact of the British Empire has been the dissemination of European ideas, particularly of British political institutions and of the English language, throughout a large part of the world.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. In Kipling's work, as in his life, the British Empire assumed a complex mythical function, which he passed on to his readers. In life he often created a parallel between the earlier Roman Empire and the British Empire: their purpose was to maintain stability, order, and peace amongst the heathen, to relieve famine, provide medical assistance, to abolish slavery, to construct the physical and the psychological groundwork for "civilization," and to protect the mother country. The British Empire, as the Roman Empire, was according to Kipling an island of security in a chaotic world. (And in fact, when the Empire did eventually dissolve, many of the worst nightmares of the Imperialists came to pass--in the slaughter which marked the partition of India, for example).

The White Man's Burden represents a culmination of the author's theories about imperialism. The title itself became a stock phrase to indicate that British people have the weight ("burden") of civilising the darkest places in the world.
