  From owning the biggest Empire in the world, to barely holding itself together. You can never be at the top forever, that&apos;s a tale as old as the concept of power

  It baffles me how fast Britain went from being the largest empire in human history to being little more than a sidekick to the only colony that freed itself from the empire through a war.

  Britain&apos;s decline is even worse now. The &nbsp;decline never stopped , only delayed for a little while longer

  The British Empires downfall began the day they fought against the Central Powers in WW1.
