The UK lost its empire due to world war 2 and was so broke afterwards that it had to come up with desperate measures to keep up with its payments to the US even considering giving up everything and applying to become a US state - things were that bad.
no problem; i just wanted to know if there was some form of classification for that version

victors write the history yes?

UK 'lost it's empire', but WW2, at best, was 'one of the reasons'. Expensive thing, 'empire'. Much better, and cheaper, and less reputation staining, letting them run themselves, eh ol'chap



Germany was owned, almost entirely, but foreign interest.. any clue on who did the owning? or facilitating?

one of your colonies, btw, aren't very happy about Dieppe. at all.
