, Introduction.
My topic is Rise and fall of British Empire. I've chosen this topic because I like
history of England and I also want to know about British Empire because it is the
most famous part of British history. Also I’ve read some books about British
history and it attracted me. I’ve already known about exploration of America,
Australia, New Zealand, about journeys of James Cook, Christopher Columbus
and other explorers. About wars between England and Spain, France, Russia,
Portugal. I think this theme is actual and important now because England is one of
the leader countries and it would be useful to know about it’s past and present to
compare it. It was the largest empire in the world. My target is to know why
colonies have been separated from British Empire and could British people stop it
or not.
