All the brits with balls died during the war. Only the limpwristed faggots and "gentlemen" survived and bred.
research the dutch VOC fag. england didn't own shit, the jews did. They got pissed after the spanish inquisition, caused the protestant reformation, then created international countries to get back at the goyem/take over the world. Whether they consciously decided to do this, or some hivemind shit took place who gives a fuck
Most of that territory was empty space. India was their crown jewel. Even Ireland, right next door and in western Europe was most empty space. Dublin was the city and they didn't control much outside of that. Slapping red paint all over modern nations is very misleading.
When that existed I would have been one of the civilised citizens living in the "second city" of the empire.
Well the final nail in the coffin was when America cucked us during Suez.
But we fucked ourselves by fighting two pointless and completely optional world wars, thereby exhausting ourselves spiritually and financially in the pursuit of the destruction of nationalism.
Could have come to terms with Hitler, destroyed communism and ensured the domination of the world by European society.
But no, we just had to side with the kikes.
So instead of moon bases we get to replace the population of Europe with 3rd world savages.
They sacrificed their entire empire for a petty dispute the Germans were not even interested in.
Right after the war we elected a socialist Labour Government who were anti-Empire and wanted to give up India. We were also economically weakened due to the war and could not afford to put down the nationalists in India. In 1947 that Government gave all of India and Pakistan independence.
The loss of India created manpower problems for the colonies, as many colonies were garrisoned by Indian sepoys. This meant the Government had to continue conscription after the war to have enough men to hold the Empire. The people didn't take too kindly to this, as we had never instituted peacetime conscription before.
America and the USSR also didn't like the empire, and perfidious burgerstan refused to support us in colonial wars. When we tried to retake the Suez canal you basically threatened to sink our economy and caused a run on the pound. We could only be bailed out if we withdrew. That moment was the end of our status as a superpower.
>now a joke to the world
Lmao this coming from a mutt
They're still prominent desu in a military aspect, britain always kinda lets others fight their wars, if they wanted to they'd be the most fierce fighting forces besides Russia and America
LMAO
fuck what you guys are on about Juden = True Master Race
It happened the same with all european powers of the past, what's the surprise? not only britain
>England, France, Spain, Portugal
You should of broken that 100 year old promise to Belgium and just let the franco-prussian war happen again.
>When we tried to retake the Suez canal you basically threatened to sink our economy and caused a run on the pound.
It's almost as if Hitler was on to something when he disassociated Germany's economy from the international banking system.
keeping information over centuries so you can lie and cheat to create a fake world is not a good strategy. but hey, you clearly don't understand the role of purpose anyways. kys retard
The price we paid for trusting (((Americans))).
Shhhhh. No one's interested in your facts. Let the Amerimutts shitpost in peace.
> what happened
The fucking jews
nigger you're fucking british.
>Shhhhh. No one's interested in your facts. Let the Amerimutts shitpost in peace.
I live in in Florida. Pic related is pretty cool. It got in interested in the Spanish Empire's history.
>Don't examine the spectacularly rapid collapsed of European global dominance! It just happened!
Fine
This was the case 20 years ago. Not anymore.
Britain has finally burnt out what is left of its imperial glory. We are just a regional power militarily now.
Thats a good thing though, We havent fought a just war in nearly 200 years
This post is pretty much the correct answer apart from:
>Right after the war we elected a socialist Labour Government who were anti-Empire and wanted to give up India.
They were actually surprisingly more favourable to Empire than you'd think. Indian Independence had pretty much been agreed in the middle of the 1930s, if anything the war served to delay it. In Palestine it was the Labour government who were opposing decolonisation as opposed to Conservatives who supported it there.
>We could not afford to put down the nationalists in India.
It's slightly more nuanced than that
>America and the USSR also didn't like the empire, and perfidious burgerstan refused to support us in colonial wars.
Indeed, (((Americans))) after the war viewed not just the British Empire but literally every single nation state in Western Europe as an obstacle to their rich merchants doing business
The rise of nationalism in all of the colonies was an inevitable process. Once people in the colonies became more aware of the geopolitical situation the idea of still being ruled by Britain seemed ridiculous, in the same way that it's now ridiculous to imagine Slovakia being ruled by Hungary again, or Greece being ruled by Turkey again, even though that occurred for hundreds of years.
It's also important to note that the Empire was actually pretty pointless. India compromised 70% of the population, and places that were always de facto independent compromised another 15%. After India had gone there was very little left. Nearly every African colony was just owned to provide a protective sphere around Egypt and South Africa, and became redundant after 1931. Similarly colonies like Guyana were certainly helpful in ensuring British dominance of the seas, but they were increasingly irrelevant in an era of air travel.
The only benefits that the Empire gave were economic. It was realised pretty soon that these could be achieved just by having beneficial trade deals.
>When you are the wealthiest empire in the world and you become bankrupt to some ragtag rebels that barely had enough cloth to give two shoes for every soldier.
They realized that there's no need to own land beside some examples like Gibraltar or Malvinas.
England is an european country, not a worldwide multiraciial
>>Turned the tide against Hitler
Russia is still there and scary user,
After maggy Thatcher we only had weak ass leaders that sold out the ppl and never bin anyone descent vote for since we dont even rule are own country anymore
Can you think of a single reason Americans would ever want to spend effort or resource in helping to maintain a foreign nation's colonies? Or any country for that matter?
It's helping the competition remain competition. That's not smart no matter how one looks at it.
Yep. Eisenhower threatened to dump your bonds if you didnt back off the Suez. That was pretty much the final nail.
If course, most in this thread don't realize the Square Mile still runs the world...unfortunately.
The square mile is less important than Wall Street nowadays
>what happened britbongs?
You told it yourself
