The British Empire. Great Britain is the latgest island of the British Isles.
No. It is an independent country which was a former British colony.
The Indians disapproved of British rule in the late nineteenth century, as they wanted to be independent.
depends on the country. it started in the late nineteenth century (1800's) and most countries were independent by 1960ish. so its probably around 60 to 80 years for the vast majority of countries. some countries have been independent now for about as long as they were colonized. Europeans did live in Africa for a while before colonialism.
Your question is a little vague. In terms of Britain itself: It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and either southern or northern Ireland, I forget. In terms of the wider globe: Britain does not own any countries. The British Empire used to cover a third of the globe but now it is almost entirely dead. Britain still retains ties with Australia and Canada since they were discovered by European settlers in the sixteenth century onwards and a large proportion of it's population and history was formed by the British. I believe there are also some small areas of land across the globe that still belong to the British crown such as Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands.

The countries in South America almost all independent because of the fall of Imperialism, especially in the 20th century. Over time, many colonies of Portugal, Spain, France, Britain, etc. decided they should be given the right to self-govern. Eventually, most were granted that right.
