How British Empire Ended?
Many historians believe that the end of the British empire started when the countries with large white populations of European descent were given dominion status. The first was Canada in 1867, then Australia became a dominion in 1901 and South Africa became a dominion in 1910.
In terms of size, the British Empire was at its largest in the years following World War One, when it gained some of Germany’s former colonies. This was because Germany had lost World War One, and its former colonies were given to other European countries through the Treaty of Versailles....

I'm going to say something that is going to make a lot of people mad. Ireland was the first pulled into the Empire and the first one out. Let the rage begin! The next thing is rather less controversial: when India left, the rest of the Empire was just inevitable paperwork.

The main reason why the British were able to build their empire was thanks to the island. The Spanish empire, Napoleon, Prussia or the Nazis invaded almost all of continental Europe for 4 centuries. If the UK wasn't an island it would have been invaded in 4 weeks. Spain, for example, sent 10 large invasion fleets to England. The Royal Navy only appears in 1588 (with the help of storms) and in 1806 (French error and Nelson's victory at Trafalgar). 1377 (Castilian invasion of southern England), 1380-81 (Castilian invasion of southern England), 1411 ( Castilian invasion of Cornwall), 1554 (the Spanish fleet led by the Duke of Alba, arrives in England to crown Philip II as King of England and Ireland, marrying Mary Tudor, half-Spanish Queen of England and Ireland. If they had had a son... Invincible Spanish Armada of 1588 (mainly stopped by storm) In 1589, without storms, the Spanish fleet defeated Drake's invincible fleet, sinking 80 ships. Elisabeth sentenced Drake to be a lighthouse keeper. Second Invincible Armada Spanish, 1596 (more than 100 ships, stopped by a storm), Third Invincible Spanish Armada, 1597 (more than 130 ships and 12000 Spanish elite soldiers. Fleet stopped by a storm. One day of sun and... 1718 (Fourth large Spanish fleet to invade the British Isles (more than 20, 000 soldiers to support the Scots. Fleet stopped by a storm) 1779-80, Spanish blockade of England, with the capture of two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships, which sank the London stock market and facilitated the independence of the United States. Spain gives the Spanish dollar to the United States. The real goal was to invade England, but the French allies were scared off.

Except Venice Spain invaded all the capitals of Western Europe in the 16th-17th centuries: Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Cologne, Manheim, Aachen, Milan, Florence, Genoa, Amsterdam, Brussels... If England were not an island (and a stormy island ) the invasion would have occurred in 4 weeks, and the British empire would now be like the Dutch. It would also have taken Napoleon a month to invade England by land. ¡Panzer division! 4 weekends. After the Napoleonic wars that have devastated all of continental Europe, the British may become the first power. Not before. It is the same process as the Japanese. The Mongols invaded almost all of Eurasia, but they could not invade the small Japanese islands, mainly due to storms. That is why Japan was able to have stability and launch an attack and expansion in Asia in the 20th century. Besides, the British and Japanese have managed that advantage well, preventing the incursion of revolutionary agents that caused a lot of trouble in Europe, Asia and Latin America!!

Not mentioned at all in this video: After the Royal Navy tried to take over the Caribbean fighting for three hundred years and the River Plate in 1806-07 without long-lasting success, in 1824 the liberators Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin (with the aid of some Scottish and Iirish) balcanized the former Spanish America (Divide et Impera), erased the ethernal New World nightmare of Queen Elisabeth I successors, and put in silver plate the entire subcontinent (like India) under a heavy British influence - with lots of migrants (really secrets agents of his majesty), debts, investments, railroad construction, social clubs, sports, quasi infinite mineral resources, free commerce, etc. - that it was in the British "informal empire". This was especially true in Argentina, Brasil (forever a British colony who speak Portuguese), Uruguay, Chile and Venezuela who practically gift the Essequibo golden territory to the Crown.

The black legend Punch magazine fun facts about England :

The Opium Wars is an under appreciated part of British history that plays a greatly understated role in current events in regards to how China handles itself. Now USA and Europe say that G0D created heaven and earth and the rest is made in China.

England is like the New York Yankees of baseball. You either love or hate, but either way, you appreciate its greatness.

The kingdom of England benefitted tremendously from the death of the Portuguese king Sebastian, which left Portuguese overseas colonies in the hands of their Spanish rivals for 60 years. This allowed England to take over these former Portuguese colonies, under the guise of fighting the Spaniards over the control of these territories. In this fashion, England took over former Portuguese interests in Africa, India, the Atlantic, North America and the Spice Islands. When the Portuguese regained their independence, they were never able to regain these territories from their supposed
