Does the British empire still exist?

In the most modern sense, yes, Britain still retains 14 separate territories outside the United Kingdom. And there is also the separate entity of the Commonwealth of Nations, which, although, is not political per say the nations in it still recognize Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of the Commonwealth, and in many cases she is still their monarch and head of state. In that extent the empire survives.However, oddly enough the nation that has something closest to a colonial empire is The United States of America, who has sovereignty over Puerto Rico (and does not afford them a vote in US Presidential elections, which is much the same relationship as England had with America before the American Revolution). America also owns, American Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands as well as countless other island chains, and lastly the territories not connected to the main 50 states: Hawaii and Alaska.Another Answer:Yes and no. The British Empire reached its peak in 1922, ruling over 1/6th of people living and owning almost 1/4 of the world's land. There is not a date when the Empire ended, so I have provided a timeline of the fall of the Empire for you so you can make your own decision, as even historians argue about when the Empire ended.There are 5 large points in the downfall of the Empire that you can look at to see when and if the Empire ended.1947-1948: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Burma, Ireland, and Palestine leave the Empire. Soon after the term "Empire" became obsolete, with the more politically correct term "commonwealth" taking its place.1957-1966: All of the UK's holdings in Africa (with the exception of Zimbabwe), the Middle East, South America and most of the territories in the Caribbean become independent. Within 9 years the Empire had been almost totally dissolved.1980/81: Belize and Zimbabwe become independent, the few remaining colonies are renamed "British Dependent Territories".1982: The British strength is put to the test again, when Argentina attempts to invade the Falkland Islands.1997: The last large British territory, Hong Kong, is ceded to China.In closing, whether or not the Empire still exists is highly debated. Fourteen British Overseas territories exist (Gibraltar, Akriotori & Dhekelia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Saint Helena & the Ascension Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, British Antarctic Territory, Falkland Islands, Pitcarin, the Turks & Caicos, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Montserrat and Anguilla), with only 667,000 square miles of land and only 260,000 citizens. Of these territories, three are claimed by other countries as well. Some relics of the British Empire live on as well (one of the highest medals and decorations awarded by the Queen is The Order of the British Empire), even though the term "empire" hasn't regularly been used by the British for over fifty years.

Who was the Midnight Rider during the Battle of Lexington?

Paul RevereAnswerThere were 3 on that night. The British made their move to march out to Lexington and Concord to capture the leaders of the rebellion and destroy any arms the could find. The patriots held a meeting at the Ole North Church* and decided to send the alarm to the country side to warn them. They selected two people to send the alarm. Paul Revere was sent across the Charleston River by boat and mounted a horse to ride the northern route. William Dawes, Jr was selected to ride west along the narrow penisular that connected Boston to the land (in 1775, Boston was almost an island that was connected by a thin strip of land).[* Unlike the poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere", Revere was not waiting on the other side of the river to see the signal lights. The "2 if by sea" was a signal to everyone in the surrounding countryside to be prepared for the British to cross the river. When the decision was made, Revere left the North Church and was rowed across the Charles River under the eyes of soldiers, where a horse was waiting and Dawes mounted his horse for his overland ride.]The two riders went their separate paths that lead them to Lexington. About Midnight, Paul Revere arrived at the Hancock-Clarke house and gave the warning that the British were coming. This allowed the leaders to disperse and Captain John Parker began to assemble Minute Men who would stand and fight.The riders rode out to warn Concord and they were joined by Dr. Samuel Prescott. Dr. Prescott, some say, was out courting a lady and he met Dawes and Revere. Paul Revere, who was riding in front of Dawes and Prescott, was capturedby British officers. Dawes turned and rode back to Lexington and Prescott escaped to carry the warning to Concord. (I imagine he knew how to ride the trails at night since he was a local person to the area.)Some say Paul Revere traded his horse for his freedom. Some sources say Dr. Prescott galloped off into the dark woods like a drunken man and the British were not familiar enough with the trails to follow him.The rest of the Story.The British arrived at Lexington almost at sunrise and were met by a group of Minute Men on the green of Lexington. After a stand-off, a shot was fired and then both sides fired volleys. The Minutemen suffered several casualties. The British army marched on to Concord. At Concord the British searched the town for weapons and stores. They burned what they could find. A small group of British soldiers marched out to the bridge on the north side of town. The Minutemen from Acton and Bedford were arriving to give aid. They were carrying the flag of Bedford, which consisted of a Knight's Arm holding a sword, mounted over a cloud. As they approached the bridge, the British soldiers of the 10th Light Regiment began tearing up the bridge. Both sides opened up with volleys and the first British soldiers were killed.From there the British reformed and departed Concord to march back to Lexington. Before they reached Lexington, at Fiske's Hill, they were ambushed by more minutemen. Colonel Pitcarin'shorse bolted and the horse and his pistols were captured by the minutemen(ironically, Pitcarin was lated killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill and is buried at the Ole North Church). The British continued to march back to Charlestown and the Minute men began to arrive from all communities and kept up a running battle. More soldiers were killed.After the "battles" of Lexington and Concord, the Americans declared their independance from Britain and a full war developed. The Battle of Bunker Hill (and Breed's Hill) was the last and only battle to be fought in Massachusetts during the entire War.TodayThere is a Minuteman statue on the Lexington Green of Captain John Parker. There is another Minutemen statue at the Concord Bridge depicting a soldier leaving his plow and taking up his rifle. On the 200th Anniversary, President G. Ford visited the Ole North Church and lite a 3rd Lantern as a beacon into the 3rd Century of the United States.Today, Massachusetts celebrates the 19 of April date as a holiday. The major event of the week is the Boston Marathonis run on the first Monday.CustermenLink of timeline of Paul Revere's ride:http://library.thinkquest.org/3803/Timeline/24text.HTML
