The British Empire was all the countries in the world that were at one time a part of British Sovreignity. That is to say the British King or Queen laid claim to those territories as part of what that King or Queen ruled over. (Or at least the British Government did in the name of the Monarch) Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India & South Africa were the main areas, but there were many, many others.It was hte biggest Empire the world has ever seen by miles.

The British Empire ruled approximately 90% of the world, being the largest empire on the planet at 33,700,000 km2 (13,012,000 sq mi).It is difficult to get an exact number because the treaties, political situations and boundary divisions were always changing.As an approximation, the British Empire ruled about 140 major countries, bearing in mind some now no longer exist as they have merged with other existing countries once independent.If you include protectorates, mandates and minor territories, that number stretches to approximately 192.It was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire". Because the span of the empire across the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of the many British colonies.
