Before Britain ruled the seas and painted the world map in red, it was just a small island on the edge of Europe — poor, desperate, and hungry for power. 🌍

In this episode of Imperial Footprints, we uncover the thrilling true story of how the British Empire began — not with kings or parliaments, but with pirates, privateers, and merchants chasing gold, glory, and dominance.

⚓ Witness the rise of Elizabethan sea captains like Sir Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh, the cunning merchants of the East India Company, and the early battles that transformed England from a struggling nation into a global empire.

💰 From Caribbean raids to the Age of Exploration, and from pirate ships to Royal Navy war fleets, this story reveals the greed, ambition, and genius that built the greatest empire in human history.
