Transport in Twentieth-Century British History

 Three dimensions of the United Kingdom’s overseas relations- European, Imperial, and Global

 

 

Résumé :

For the United Kingdom the sea, and the air,  has been as much as bridge as a barrier.  As the United Kingdom separates itself from the European Union, in part in pursuit of a departed past as ‘Global Britain’, it is a good time to reflect on the changing material and political-economic dimensions of its connections to the rest of the world.  My paper will concentrate on ships and aeroplanes, ports and airports,  showing how they engaged in different ways with three dimensions of the United Kingdom’s overseas relations –  European, Imperial, and Global.  Drawing on a new history of the twentieth-century United Kingdom I am completing I will show how machines mattered, and how they were shaped with particular political-economic aims in mind, and how they have shaped the very existence of the United Kingdom.
