The British empire spread their influence around the globe

Explanation:

The great phase of power of the British Empire took place between the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. During this period, the United Kingdom gained diverse territories, colonies and islands, becoming a global force. It was as if England owned most of the world.

The British Empire began during the reign of Henry VIII, who invested heavily in the naval force of the country. The aim was to strengthen England's trade.

The English kingdom  remained influential and dominant in areas of Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The map of the empire was remarkable during the reign of Queen Victoria between 1837 and 1901.

In the so-called “Victorian era”, the British explored new sea lanes and consolidated themselves with the main trading posts on the planet. In 1877, Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India, considered at this time to be the main British wealth.
