Introduction
The British Empire lasted between 400 and 500 years, covering approximately 24% of the earth's surface at its peak.
Its extent has been drastically reduced, but the history of the British Empire impacts modern-day British politics, culture, and even language.
Empire is still a pervasive element of everyday British life, yet reckoning with colonialism is a fraught activity for Britain.
