The British Empire dissolved primarily due to the rise of nationalist movements in colonized countries, which demanded independence following World War II. Economic strains and changing political attitudes in Britain further accelerated decolonization, as maintaining the empire became increasingly untenable. Additionally, global shifts towards self-determination and the influence of international bodies like the United Nations made Imperialism less acceptable. By the mid-20th century, most colonies had gained independence, effectively marking the end of the British Empire.
