Pax Britannica was the period of relative peace between the great powers During this time (1815-1914), the British Empire became the global hegemonic power, developed additional informal empire, and adopted the role of a “global policeman”. The Pax Britannica Trilogy cover the British Empire, from the earliest days of the East India Company to the troubled years of independence and nineteen-sixties post-colonialism.
