Britain is in a post-empire downfall, and has been for 120 years. If you want to see where it leads, see Portugal which is 50 years further ahead on that path.

- Quarrelsome 4y agoI don't think the scale of Empires is anywhere near the same to make the two particularly comparable. Remember that Great Britain effectively bankrolled one side of the money incinerator that was the First Great War alone (at least for the first two years) which somewhat demonstrates the exceptional zenith of its power.
- csomar 4y agoThey also don't have the same size. Portugal has around 10million people. Would you say the British empire was x6 times larger than the Portuguese one?
