What would happen if the British empire never existed?
Originally Answered: What would the world be like if the British Empire had not existed? It would be worse off. Slavery would have ended later (possibly MUCH later), France would have had a much larger colonial empire and the United States would likely not exist (neither would Canada).
What would the world be like today if the British empire had survived?
If the British Empire was reunited she would be Queen in 64. A new empire would be 146 times larger than the UK in 2017 and have 40 times the population with 2.643 billion residents – 37 per cent of the world’s people. Today the British Empire would have the largest military in the world.
What would happen if England never successfully colonized in the New World?
If Europeans never colonized and invaded America, the native nations and tribes would continue to interact in trade. The coastal people grow rich, trading resources such as corn with the old world. The Europeans would trade with the Eastern tribes and the Chinese would trade with the Western tribes.
Why was the British empire good for the world?
The British empire brought many changes to many people and many countries. Some of these changes involved innovations in medical care, education and railways. The British empire fought to abolish slavery in the 1800s, but it profited from slavery in the 1700s.
