The Queen's 54 Countries: Commonwealth of Nations Explained

The British Empire has all but disappeared today, but it has left a long-lasting impact on our world today. In this video, I discuss the formation of the Commonwealth of Nations out of what was once part of this empire.

I remembered when we went on holiday to Australia, one of the staff in the airport referred to us as “Commonwealth friends from the UK.”

My country is in the commonwealth! Kind regards from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Commonwealth should really be about COMMONwealth not commonWEALTH.

[keithtonkin]

A good straight forward explanation. I hope a lot of US citizens see this. So many have told me, a New Zealander, that my country is ruled by Britain and even that we are under the thumb of the Queen.

[Skylightatdusk]

What are the implications of having or not having the queen as the head of state? I came here after learning about Barbados' decision to become a republic.

[adolfoarias]

Sometimes I have thought that my country Argentina should put aside the confrontation with the UK, heal wounds and apply to join the Commonwealth (there are countries with no ties to the UK). Also the Commonwealth games would allow Argentina to improve in some sports that is not good.

If Australia and New Zealand leave the Commonwealth do the flags change?
