At its height in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the British Empire was the largest empire in history, covering about a quarter of the world's landmass and population. It exerted significant political, economic, and cultural influence globally, often referred to as "the empire on which the sun never sets." The empire's strength was bolstered by its formidable naval power, extensive trade networks, and colonial administrations. However, the pressures of nationalism, economic changes, and two World Wars ultimately led to its decline and the decolonization process in the mid-20th century.
