Echoes of History

• The Anglo-Sikh Wars

  Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India puts players in the heart of the Sikh Empire in 1841, at a time when only the Sikh Empire remained unconquered by the British. Perhaps inevitably, this decade witnessed the bloody Anglo-Sikh Wars. These conflicts would ultimately determine the fate of British power in India, and by extension, the power of Britain worldwide for the next century.To shed light on these complex events, Matt is joined by historian, author and Director of the Sikh Museum Initiative, Gurinder Singh Mann.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
