In 1900, the British Empire was the largest empire in history, covering about a quarter of the world's land area and population. It spanned across multiple continents, including territories in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. This vast empire was often summarized by the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire," reflecting its global reach. The empire's extensive control facilitated significant economic and cultural exchanges, but also led to considerable colonial exploitation and conflict.
