Well, you have http://www.britishempire.co.uk/maproom/maproom.htm... But this is only the official size, many other countries (i.e.China) where de facto under british control as well for some time.

I have tried that site caid. It is pretty good. I found most of my info there. I have to write like 10 pages for the project :(

Well, don't forget british colonialism started with pirate raids in 16th century, so you have about 500 years. More than enough. One page to beginning, i.e.discover of african south and America, then spreading of trade by Spaniards, next two or three should be about british raids and then first true colonies in era of queen Elisabeth. Next three would be about new discoveries (Cook, Ross etc.) as well as wars with Netherlands and France for domination on sea or american soil, maybe a small Cromwell interlude should give you a tip, then a page for US independence war and again France. Napoleon took much from them, altough they stopped him in Trafalgar. You may take a look on Crimean War then and with 20th century I think you don't need me. Give about two pages for a century, it would be easy then.

When asking for pictures, you imight want to be more specific as to what it is exactly you are lacking.

I don't know what pics I need acctually. just something fitting to the subject. can be anything.

I don't intend to write two pages per century. I have a issue about why most of the colonies which were inhabitated by the british where better of after independence than the former colonies they had not inhabitted.
