The XXthÎntury


The XXth century

During the 20th century the monarchy became more popular than ever before; George V had become a “people's king” - Commonwealth

At the end of the First World War, the German colonies of Africa, as well as Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were added to Britain's area of control.

At the 1919 peace conference US President Woodrow Wilson's disapproval of colonialism resulted in Britain's latest territorial gains being described as “mandated”.

In 1947 the British finally left India - the loss of empire

In 1982 Britain went to war to take back the Falklands after an Argentinian invasion - rapid recapture

In 1956 Britain lost control over Suez Canal
