Culture and history
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Britain, being in first place in the world in terms of economic development, created a colossal colonial power that occupied almost a quarter of the planet's territory. The British colonies included India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a significant part of Africa. In the twentieth century, the English colonies became independent states, but many of them are part of the British Commonwealth, headed by the British Monarch. In 1921, the southern part of Ireland separated from Great Britain and became an independent state.
