The British Empire was all the countries in the world that were at one time a part of British Sovreignity. That is to say the British King or Queen laid claim to those territories as part of what that King or Queen ruled over. (Or at least the British Government did in the name of the Monarch) Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India & South Africa were the main areas, but there were many, many others.It was hte biggest Empire the world has ever seen by miles.
