During the 20th century, the British Empire underwent significant decline, largely due to the impact of World Wars I and II, which weakened Britain economically and politically. The process of decolonization accelerated after World War II, as many colonies gained independence in a wave of nationalist movements. By the end of the century, the empire had largely dissolved, transitioning into the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of independent states. This marked a significant shift from direct colonial rule to a more cooperative relationship among former colonies.
