Many nations around the world have been influenced by British history and culture.
With each passing year, English comes closer to being a world language for all educated
people, as Latin once was. The prominence of English can be traced to the spread of the
British Empire during the last three centuries. In the early 20th century, a quarter of the
world’s people and a quarter of the world’s land surface were controlled in some way by
Britain. Some parts of the world received substantial numbers of British emigrants and
developed into what were called daughter nations. These colonies
eventually became self-
governing areas called dominions. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand fit this pattern. For a
long time India was the most important colony in the British Empire, but
after a long anti-
colonial struggle with Britain, independent India today is the world’s most populous
democracy. The British Empire once included substantial
portions of southern, western, and
eastern Africa; important areas in Asia, such as
Hong Kong; a few holdings in the Americas;
and a large number of islands in the Pacific. Today most of these
are independent nations,
but many retain some British law, institutions, and customs.
