Explanation
The British Empire became the largest empire in history, and at its height around 1921 it covered roughly a quarter of the world’s land area. Indians resisted British rule through rebellions and protests, and many resented colonial control and exploitation. Britain’s empire did not keep expanding into the 21st century, and it no longer controls most Asian nations. Most British colonies gained independence by the 1960s.
