Presentation transcript:

 Cost of keeping up the empire outweighed the benefits of resources from colonies (troops stationed, etc.)

 20 th century: Japan power in Pacific,  Germany power in Europe  U.S. power in the Western Hemisphere  Britain’s increased obligation towards territories, such as those in the Middle East after World War I, etc., caused more demand on government and troops.

 Britain won the wars, but at a tremendous cost.  Refer back to the rise….

 The largest navy no longer indicated the most powerful nation.  With new technology in weapons and flight, the designation of world power was beyond the largest navy.

 After WWII, the U.S. would not support British colonization. This caused a rapid disintegration of the British Empire.  Britain tried to join the European Common Market- but vetoes from member nations kept Great Britain out. In 1973, Britain was finally admitted to the European Community.

 1950’s: Egypt, Kenya, Cyprus, followed by others seeking independence. By the late 1960’s, British troops world wide were brought home. The last troops left Hong Kong in 1997.
