∙ 12y agoAll empires come and go. This is partly because the way the world works changes and the reasons for the empire become less valid. In the case of Britain, two others powers were in their ascendancy - America and the USSR. Also, Britiain had lost a serious amount of money fighting a war. Then after a few years many countries of the empire became restless and wanted independence - notably India, led by Mahatma Ghandi.
