This empire was the result of the discovery era in Europe that began with the Enlightenment voyages of the 15th century which led to the creation of European colonial empires. By 1921, the population of the British Empire was 450 million. This was at that time a quarter of the worlds population, which was under the patronage of Britain only. Spread over 33 million square kilometers, this empire was not only the largest empire in history, but it was the largest empire in all the continents of the world.But as it spread, this empire in its largest form controlled one-third of the land area of the earth. Thus its language and cultural spread was worldwide, and can be seen in the current English language culture and government systems influenced by the English style of governance and the Westminster style . Because of its presence on all continents, regions and almost every landmass of the world, the popular statement was born: The sun never sets on the British Empire. many countries within the empire became independent. And many of them became independent and joined the Commonwealth of the British Empire. Some countries, even after gaining independence from the British Parliament accepted the British sovereign as their sovereign, which is today called the Commonwealth of Peoples. The foundation of the British Empire was laid when England and Scotland were separate states. The intention to establish an impire by expanding the borders of his country to other parts of the world arose in many monarchies of Europe, due to the discovery of America on the Atlantic. And the success of countries like Spain and Portugal in this work gave further impetus to this dream of empire verification, after which many European states competed to establish settlements across the sea and expand their kingdom. In the early times, after reaching the Atlantic through the west, the Asian countries were sent sea expeditions with the desire to establish trade relations. Due to which Christopher Columbus first reached the coast of America and thinking that it is Asia.
