The members of the commonwealth are all former-British colonies. Britain was a major colonising power during the 16th-19th centuries, establishing their own trading posts and political leadership in many areas of the world. At the height of their power they controlled over a quarter of the world's land area, and this is part of the reason why the English language is so widespread. After Britain relinquished power over the majority of these countries after the Second World War, the Commonwealth was created as an organization to maintain political and economic ties between the former members of the British Empire. These are the countries you see competing at the commonwealth games.
