How Big Was the British Empire #british #worldhistory #empire

 At the peak of its power, the British Empire was described as the empire on which the sun never sets. Because it was so vast and spread across various continents and the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories. It once ruled over 57 colonies and territories from all across the world. 

British researcher Stephen Luscombe calculates - From London, the British ruled about 20 percent of the world’s population, governed nearly 25 percent of the world’s land mass, and used to represent 35% of the total global GDP.
