The United Kingdom, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading
role in developing Western world ideas of property, liberty, capitalism and parliamentary democracy - to
say nothing of its part in advancing world literature and science. At its zenith during the first half of the
20th century, the British Empire stretched over one quarter of the earth’s surface.
The effects of World War I and World War II saw the UK’s strength seriously depleted. The second half
of the 20th century saw the replacement of the Empire with the Commonwealth of Nations and the UK rebuilding itself.

...and that’s all folks!
