Yes, I suppose having direct rule over one quarter of the worlds surface and one third of her population from a small wet island doesn’t really count as an Empire, despite being the largest one ever. . . . .
It’s true. If Britain had been a real empire, Ghandi would have been hanged, drawn, and quartered, and that would be that.
