During the Great Depression Britain 'sheltered' within the Empire and this policy of trying to strengthen the Empire (mainly economically) continued throughout the period. This preoccupation with the Empire encouraged a quasi-isolatist attitude towards Europe - with unfortunate results. In particular, in 1933-39 Britain never managed to take the initiative in Europe, but simply reacted to Hitler and other dictators. Having said this, Britain did rearm on a significant scale in the 1930s.
