In 1900, "Empire" primarily referred to the vast colonial territories controlled by major powers, particularly the British Empire, which was at its height and encompassed significant parts of Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. It symbolized national prestige, economic exploitation, and the spread of cultural influence, often justified by ideologies like Imperialism and the belief in racial superiority. The era was marked by competition among European nations for global dominance, leading to geopolitical tensions that set the stage for the conflicts of the 20th century.
