No, the latest empire was the Portuguese Empire.

This. Basically America took the ropes from now on.

I have to wonder, people say jews conspire against nation states or white people or w/e but the UK were collaborating directly with Israel when this sunk them. Is there a secret feud between American jews and Israeli jews?
>>
Depends how you define Empire, I'd say 1997.
>>
>>13978

>Portuguese Empire.

Ah bugger, They almost made it to the 21st Century

britbongland has steadily declined since then

Why did Brits let go of their control over Africa and Asia again?

>yanks seriously think this
>>
>>14092

No, this was American goyim showing Britain who's boss, and not wanting to piss off the rest of the world by propping up a dying empire.
>>
>>14350
>their empire is nothing but a smattering of small islands and a little toehold on southern Iberia
>>
>>14010

Hardly matters, it's only like what? 40 years? until that agreement date is over and China tanks roll in to take the place over fully.
>>
>>17710
Are you literally retarded? Britain only increased in power and influence until around about the end of the First World War, then started to decline with all the independence movements until it's where it is today.

You could kinda argue that since the Queen is the legal head of state for quite a few Commonwealth countries that the Empire is still going strong, but the Statute of Westminster 1931 basically removed all of her/the government's power over the colonies

see>>14350
We are still an Empire, but it's pretty shit to what it used to be so we don't call it that in public

You're right, the politically correct term is Islamic Caliphate.
