Abstract

Britain built its Empire from the root of both colonialism and imperialism and became the ruler of the world for decades. Even after its collapse, her legacy is still alive in modern days, between Positive and Negative aspects, the imperial legacy creates a lot of future debates. Apologists for the Empire defended her legacy by stating that the Empire worked for the benefits of it subjects, offering them free education, economic prosperity of its colonies, and justice through the British Common Laws. In contrast, modern crises in the colonies break the legend that the Empire’s colonialism is something positive , Evil of the Empire has risen in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan, Burma, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Nigeria, and Kenya , creating some present conflicts that may cause future wars.
