im not sure where youve collect your facts from on empires but i think youve misinterpreted alot of information.
the british empire held about 1/3 of the planet and didnt which is considered to be a large territory.. they didnt lose it / over expand, they decided to release it to the commonwealt...
it was the same tatics that got america up and running.... your basically the bastard child of france, england and spains massive orgy. just the stain on the matress.
But at least we did it in an age when it was not frowned upon....
