At its height, "The sun never sets on the British Empire" was not an idle phrase. Canada was a British colony in North America. Britain had Asian colonies in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore, as well as Australia. India was sometimes called "the jewel in the crown" of the empire. There were also British colonies in South Africa, Rhodesia, and other places in Africa, as well as Egypt and the Sudan.
