I mbarr a réime, ba í Impireacht na Breataine an impireacht ba mhó agus an stát ba chumhachtaí ar domhan. Sa bhliain 1922 bhí tuairim is ceathrú de thailte agus de dhaonra an domhain faoi smacht na Ríochta Aontaithe. Tá oidhreacht na himpireachta an-tábhachtach fós ó thaobh na teanga, na polaitíochta agus an chultúir de.
Stair
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Bhunaigh Sasana go leor coilíneachtaí agus postanna trádála sa 16ú agus sa 17ú haois agus ba iad na críocha seo príomhbhunús na hImpireachta. Cailleadh na Stáit Aontaithe i ndeireadh na 18ú haoise, ach dhírigh an Bhreatain a haigne ar an Aigéan Ciúin, an Áise agus an Afraic. I ndiaidh buachan i gCogaí Napoléon, bhí sí ar an stát ba chumhachtaí ar domhain ar feadh 100 bliain.

Chuir fás na Gearmáine agus na Stát Aontaithe deireadh le forlámhas eacnamaíochta na Breataine. Bhí an Chéad Chogadh Domhanda agus an Dara Cogadh Domhanda an-deacair, agus in ainneoin an bhua is ag dul i laige a bhí sí. Bain formhór na gcoilíneachtaí neamhspleáchas amach san fhichiú céad. Tá cuid mhaith díobh ina mball den Chomhlathas fós.
