British Empire

The British Empire was a global Empire that spanned centuries and continents, originating from The Kingdom of England during The late medieval period. It expanded significantly through colonization, trade, conquest, and diplomacy between The 16th century and The early 20th century. At its height in The late 19th century, it was often described as 'The Empire on which The sun never sets' due to its vast territorial holdings across Africa, Asia, Australia, and The Americas. The Empire played a central role in shaping modern global history through its influence on language, culture, economics, and politics.
