Decolonisation - From Empire to Commonwealth
Subjects / History / The Role of Empire and Decolonisation
The 20th century saw the British Empire go from being the world's largest empire to a tiny collection of small, scattered islands. This happened in a remarkably short period of time. The reasons for its disintegration can be attributed to the actions of the countries that made up the empire, as well as to the actions of rival nations and empires that declared war and fought to limit the power of the British Empire. The British Empire was unusual in that its decolonisation process was relatively peaceful. It moved to a Commonwealth with remarkable ease and maintained goodwill with many, if not most, of its former colonies.
