Question

14, Where did the British Empire control an entire continent?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Australia

The British Empire is generally divided into two phases. In the first, the focus was set on the Colonies in North America and the Caribbean. England even signed an agreement with Spain to colonize a region, but adopting a protective policy, preventing trade with other nations, generating conflicts with countries like the Netherlands. Colonization prospered until the end of the 18th century, with the independence of the United States. The British then changed their focus, betting on the Pacific and Africa, conquering India - their most important colony - Australia and New Zealand.
