The British Empire was the biggest empire the world has ever seen by miles.

It stretched right across the globe and it has been correctly said, "The sun never sets on the British Empire" because a part of the empire was always in daylight.

They ruled a quarter of the world's lands, spanning many different countries.

It was the fact that "Britannia ruled the waves" that allowed them to control and maintain their extensive colonial Empire. Their advanced European army allowed them to conquer the indigenous people of the areas they colonised, but it was their navy that ensured no other European power could range as far and free across the world to establish their own armies while moving people, troops and wealth from colonies to England.
