Well, obviously I am biased but a continued British Empire, I dont think it would have been a bad thing.

Considering that many British territories were being groomed for self-governance anyway and in most cases were a stabilising element in the territoires. Just take a look at what happened in India the minute we left...

The Brits actually invested in their territores. Eg UK invested £300mil (1800's values) in India..roads, rails etc. Can many/any empires claim the same?



The Emperor controlled the Country
Hardly. The military were in firm control of wartime policy.
