Summary
The conclusion will tie the chapters together and reinforce the notion of the Victorian period as a singular unit in British military history. It will address some of the overarching themes of the book such as the impact of British imperialism on domestic policy, the function of the army in the service of British political goals, and the evolution of military technology.
