When Did The Sun Set on The British Empire? --- British Colonial History Animated. [4k][HD]

Ever wonder when the sun set on The British Empire? Well, in short it still hasn't. The British Empire was one of the largest and most powerful empires in the world, and the sun still hasn't set on their empire. Due to the modern holdings of the empire being spread throughout the world, daylight still touches british territory at all times, meaning the sun still hasn't set on the british empire. When the sun will set on the british empire is still up to debate, as what you cound as a sunset is a bit unclear. Do eclipises count, should we consider global warming? The answer isn't clear, so unless something significant changes, the sun will not set on the empire.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well-sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
