The British Empire is another word for the commonwealth, which today is a group of nations that have colonised with Great Britain for one reason or another. Some reasons were for alliances, others for resources and help from Britain. Other countries had no choice and were annexed by Britain.

There is a major difference between the British Empire and the Commonwealth (capital 'C'): although the Commonwealth countries are former Imperial territories they rule themselves with the British Sovereign as titular Head of State. It is therefore an association of friendly, independent nations and although once British colonies they did NOT "colonise with" (whatever that means) Great Britain.
