Great Britain established a worldwide empire primarily to expand its economic interests, secure resources, and enhance trade. The pursuit of new markets and raw materials during the Industrial Revolution drove British expansion, as did the desire for strategic military bases and geopolitical influence. Additionally, a belief in the cultural superiority of British civilization motivated efforts to spread British values and governance. This combination of economic, strategic, and ideological factors facilitated the growth of one of the largest empires in history.
