History:
[hider]
The turn of the 20th century saw the grand British Empire as the foremost empire in the world. They boasted an empire beyond human imagining, one upon which the sun would never set. With vast territories under its colonial rule, it forsaw a world of British hegemony. Vast resources and men heeded their beck and call, all guarded by the largest navy in the entire world. This fleet, the greatest that ever sailed the seven seas, the Royal Navy, safeguarded the trade routes that were the lifeblood of the Empire. But, despite all of this, their hubris failed them. When war first broke out in Europe, in 1914, they failed to see it as anything more than a quick subjugation of an upstart empire.

They thought their boys would be home by Christmas. But, history would decide otherwise. After several gruesome years of trench warfare, Britain began to deplete its population, and was forced to begin the conscription of its colonies. The Empire and the Commonwealth were dragged, unwillingly, into the Great War. As the war dragged on, economic collapse became inevitable. With the population teetering on total starvation, peace was desperately needed. Though they eventually did achieve this peace, it did not make up for the lines of coffins returning to the Home Isles, it did not return boys and men to their mothers and fathers.

Tensions were high in the Empire after the war. Humiliated and exhausted, the economy suffered a great panic that saw many of Britain's colonies leave her. With the abandonment of the British Raj and India as a whole, and the infamous Withdrawal from Africa, further compounded by the official independence of Australia, the Empire was weakened severely. It remained, but it remained as a shell of its former self. Locked out of China by the revolution, the crown's decline was furthered. The Victorian Golden Era had well and truly ended.

Without aid from the United States, the economy only continued to worsen. Without the resources or manpower to assist its continental allies, it saw the French and the Russians fall from grace, one into the dark status of socialism, and another into anarchy. As the country continues into decline, tensions are beginning to boil over.
