The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom, that had originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population, and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km2): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.

i think the British Empire refers to the United Kingdom, which started from the middle 16th century because of the finding of new land and the development of sailing. Utile the middle 19th century Britain has already became a country with largest colony area, including Hong Kong, Canada, America, Malaysia, Australia, Newzland and many other countries in Africa. as the saying goes "the sun never disappear in the United Kingdom", so you can imagine how large the Empire is. Today, the popularity of the empire's language--english language shows everyone that the Empire is still playing an indispensable role in international field.
