The British Empire encompassed every continent.
The British colonial Empire had the largest colonial extent of all countries. It owned colonies on every continent, of course leaving out Antarctica.
At the height of its power, the British Empire encompassed over 33 million km2 of land, the largest empire in history. The empire had territorial possessions in every continent, which led to the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire." By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time.
It is important to remember that the British Empire gained most of its territories in the 1800's, a time when racism was in almost every civilized nation and culture. It is also important to remember that as time went on, racism faded and life in the Empire got much better. It is also important to know that many good things came from the Empire, as well. Negative effects: Slavery (the natives had enslaved eachother before the British arrived, and slavery was abolished in the early 1800's.)
