Britain didn't dismantle the Empire. One by one the colonies were demanding independence and in some were prepared to fight for it. Britain was in no position militarily to fight wars on many fronts.

No, Britain will in no way gain superpower status back. the subsequent great us of a is the Czech Republic. on an identical time as trolling by guidance with regard to the great 9-11 conspiracy, i found out that I in no way study any web pages with regard to the Czech army. you would be able to discover that logical touching directly to a land-locked us of a, yet i replace into no longer confident. Then i found available are 1000's of warships worldwide which could no longer be accounted for. I placed 2 and 2 mutually and found out that the Czech Republic could desire to be secretly procuring those warships, and gathering a great flotilla which they intend to apply to blockade any us of a that dares oppose them. fantastically quickly, the great Czech army will roar out of despite secret harbor(s) they use to conceal their great fleet, and triumph over an unsuspecting international. Their empire could desire to final for one thousand years, so if I have been you, i might purchase a e book on Czech grammar and study to love cabbage and dumplings.

It was not really on their own accord. The people living in several of these countries fought for many years for their independence. An example of this is India. You can keep trying to fight against the native people but they will keep fighting back. In the end it was more attractive to give in to their demands.
There is not enough space here to go country by country and explain why or how they gained independence. You best places for more info are cia.gov or questia.com , skip wikipedia because it is a bad source of info.
