Probably between 1945-1947 as that's when The British Empire ceased to be and The 'Commonwealth' came into being.

When westopped having an empire - sometime in the 1950s when the majority of the empire fought for and gained their independence.

Round about the time when we realised we had no Empire to speak of any more!
Try googling "Commonwealth Day"

Maybe a few years before we here in Canada were told (by our Governemts) that we would no longer have "Dominion Day" to celebrate; instead, just "Canada Day".
In 1867 Psalm 72:8 was adopted as Canada's motto: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth." and the country became known as the "Dominion of Canada" -- since they felt the USA might have felt too threatened if we were called the "Kingdom of Canada".
In more recent years the various governments seem to want it be known that He (God) no longer shall have Dominion in Canada.

once you improve up it truly is going to easily be yet another tuesday or thursday at artwork. Being bellicose and droll on your definition of a courageous explorer is ineffective in view that he's considered worth of a federal vacation which celebrates his landing contained in the recent international on October-12-1492.

What Empire is this you speak of? If the English didn't have Scotland to sponge off, they would collapse. Do you think your nation will be able to stand on it's own two feet one day, without the aid of anyone else? The tone of this question shows you are entrenched in the past, instead of thinking about what the future will bring.

Because it's not for the Empire anymore... there's a new world now, and Britain has shrunk to the bitty little island it is today.

We started calling it the Commonwealth, in the fifties to protect those people within the commonwealth so as not to offend them. It was felt that an Empire might be construed as 'conqueror's.
