Its is really kind of mad how the British Empire ended, as decolonisation was more or less an intended outcome of British government policy.
The only comparable example of decolonisation being something actually intended by the colonial power is the USSR under Gorbachev, and even that was partial.

But, broadly, the only empires which were anywhere near our size fell apart over centuries (Rome, Mongols, Spain, Russia) and fell apart through a combination of violence and logistics. Not in 15 years or so through a set of pretty conscious decisions.

Things I learned:
- the British empire didn’t reach its apex until 1923
- Britains “anti-slavery” was used as a pretext to exploit Africa
- loss of the use of vast numbers of Indian troops to govern other parts of the Empire such as Palestine or the “Middle East” led to post-war decolonisation
- the British empire didn’t reach its apex until 1923

I see this from Americans on the left a lot, like the idea that the average Brit is mad about decolonisation that mostly happened 60+ years ago?
Like the legacy of the empire affects politics here in many weird (and often bad) ways, but it's not a central issue in the way they frame it

Alors là, le "cépapareil" est stratosphérique 🤷♂️.
La question n'est pas celle des moyens mobilisables pour résister (conséquents pour l'Ukraine, misérables pour la Palestine) mais de distinguer l'agresseur de celui qui résiste à l'agression.
J'aurais aussi pu parler des guerres de décolonisation.

For most of our European neighbours (and frankly basically every empire in history) 'decolonisation' is a nice euphemism for 'got thrown out by their subjects' or 'got eaten by a bigger empire'.
That isn't the case for the UK, and it's really worth delving into why that is.
