The British Empire was a global colonial empire that, at its height in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was the largest empire in history. It spanned various continents, including Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia, and was characterized by the establishment of colonies, protectorates, and dominions under British control. The empire facilitated the spread of British culture, language, and commerce, but also led to significant exploitation and conflict with indigenous populations. Its influence waned after World War II, leading to the decolonization movement and the eventual independence of many of its territories.
