BRITISH COLONIES AND TERRETORIES FROM 1800 TO THE

PRESENT

COLONEIS

• Great britain has a tremendous list of colonies since 1800. This happens because in the 19th and 20th century the British Empire was on it’s highest peeks. In the following slides I’m going to name Britain’s Colonies from the 1800s to the present I’m just including the “complete” colonies, this meaning territories where britain had complete controll because other wise it would be endless but for a complete list go to:

• The British Empire started on the 1707 and collapsed on the 1990, as you’ll see only the Pitcairn Islands continued to be Britain's colony after the British Empire Collapsed. Even through there are still 14 colonies Britain doesn’t have complete control over them.
