What are main factors and causes to the decline of Empire??

. Country during the late 19th century through an economic depression made worst by Industrial competition from Germany and the United States who surprassed Britannia in terms on Industrial Power, Economic Wealth and started to dominate trade.

. Costly Imperial Wars like the Boer War cost the Empire over £200 Million pounds

. WWI:- The United Kingdom was almost on the verge of bankruptacy and luckily Wall Street kept us in the war, but mainly the entry of the United States helped too with huge loans to sustain the war even more and manpower issues.

. Dominions of Canada, New Zealand, Austrialia and South Africa regarded themselves not as subjects by people's of their land and they started to move further apart from the Mothercountry.

. WWII competely exhausted the UK and there was not enough manpower, money to be able to sustain the other parts of the Empire, plus with pressure of the dominant Superpower in the World after 1945 the United States had give Independence to some its colonies.

.Independence movements became very common in the Empire after WWI and after WWII.

. The citizens and subjected of the Empire no longer truly believed in it as they, which main people left the UK after WWII and Dominions like Austrailia and New Zealand started to rely on the United States instead of Britannia.

. UK Economic Decline could no longer sustain the Empire or wars just like WWI and WWII proved that too much relied on American Money and supplies to help us
