The British began to establish overseas colonies in the 16th century. By 1783, Britain had a large empire with colonies in America and the West Indies. ... However, in the 19th century, the British built a second worldwide empire, based on British sea-power, made up of India and huge conquests in Africa. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. The start date should be the 1490s, while other historians date the empire from the early 1600s. The end of the empire came in the years after World War 2, with most of Britain's colonies ruling themselves independently by the late 1960s.
