Fascinating video shows what the British Empire would look like today if it were reunited

[Kashmiri Pandit]

A new video shows what the British Empire, the largest to have existed in human history, would look like if it were reunited today.

At the height of its power in 1921 it was known as the 'empire on which the sun never set' and was home to some 413 million people - 23 per cent of the world's population at the time.

It was so large it covered 13,700,000 sq miles - almost the entire surface area of the moon and a quarter of the Earth's total land mass.


Queen Elizabeth II is currently the reigning monarch of 16 different countries but during her lifetime she has ruled 17 more. If the British Empire was reunited she would be Queen in 64.

A new empire would be 146 times larger than the UK in 2017 and have 40 times the population with 2.643 billion residents - 37 per cent of the world's people.

However the vast majority would be extremely impoverished with the average citizen earning just £4,007 a year

Some 69 per cent of the citizens would be Asian, 19 per cent African, seven per cent Arab and five per cent white

Today the British Empire would have the largest military in the world.

But it would still have less than half the USA's $597 billion budget.

Karachi in Pakistan would be the largest city and Hindi the most spoken language.

Finally, 69 per cent of the citizens would be Asian, 19 per cent African, seven per cent Arab and five per cent white.

I would agree for British Empire to unite only when Delhi is the capital and Modi is the PM.

Indians still dreaming of being ruled by the white man, seems the colonial hangover is still up and alive.

That is the white man dreaming. Daily Mail is UK tabloid.

I wonder how Ottoman empire would look like in the present era.

Wouldn't mind this being a reality, provided the English ensure the entire empire is well developed and there is little or no discrimination.

We'd have Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing for us, and win the world cup.

Honestly we would be better off in the Rani's Raj than we are today. No need to waste our money on arming Indian-Pak border and her danda would ensure corruption is kept to a minimal.
