That's because the British 'empire' never existed. It was a democracy with imperialistic ties to several colonies.Originally Posted by SunTzu123

Empire is a country that spreads out and conquers different territories, the British Empire was an empire ruled by a king or queen and we don't call it a kingdom do we?

Oh ho, yes it did.
They may have been the King or Queen, but they were Emperor/Empress of India.
Ha!

That doesn't mean that empires cannot be governments. The Ottoman Empire had an emperor, and that was a government. Originally Posted by SunTzu123

Thanks Joemanf for the sig.

As a matter of fact, the UK's political system during the late 19th to mid-20th century was very right-wing, so that has also been exposed.

No they weren't, they appointed a governor of India and the governor reported directly to the King or Queen. Originally Posted by BrotherhoodUK

Ahem.....
After the Mughal Emperor was deposed by the British East India Company, and after the company itself was dissolved, the title of Empress of India was taken by Victoria from 1 May 1876, and proclaimed at the Delhi Durbar of 1877. The title was created nineteen years after the formal incorporation into the British Empire of Britain's possessions and protectorates on the Indian subcontinent. Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is usually credited with creating the title for her.

In KAGANS Western Heritage AP Euro book they call it the british empire. Actually during the great depression brotherhood It was very left wing. The National government took power which was a coalition of political parties. To solve the inflation problem and the economy
