On Africa prior to the ‘arrival’ of Europeans; the trade in enslaved Africans; the wealth derived from this and from the plantations in the Americas; the struggles for freedom by the enslaved; contributions of WWI and WWII – not only troops but minerals, oil, rum, food; manufacturing forbidden in the colonies by the UK; the enticement to the Brits to emigrate to Australia, NZ post war; then the arrival of immigrants from the Caribbean and their treatment as well as contributions.
