Answer 1

The British Commonwealth an the Francaphone are what the French and British Empires evolved into.

Denmark still own Greenland aswell

Answer 2

yes because say the British empire still existed it could do things like reduce deaths from malaria in Africa since they could get the injections and the Muslims and Hindu's in India would not fight as much

Answer 3

Japan is considered the world's only surviving empire simply because its head of state is still an emperor. However, the Emperor of Japan is merely a constitutional monarch, as most monarchs are today.

Many countries still hold territories overseas, some a considerably large amount. Some of the largest "empires" today are the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Australia, and the Netherlands.
