for centuries british sailors and merchants travelled all over the world, discovered new lands and claimed them for england. large territories in north america, africa, the whole continent of australia, new zealand, india and a lot of islands in the ocean got under british rule. thus, gradually, in the course of centuries, the huge british empire came into being. after world war ii, with the growth of national liberation movement in the world, the countries which were dependent of great britain and formed parts of the british empire, began claiming independence. as a result of this movement, the british empire fell apart. however, centuries-long economic, cultural and political ties of these former colonies and dominions with great britain were too strong for them to completely break away from each other, and it was found advisable to maintain the old ties. a new organization was established: the british commonwealth of nations, including about 50 independent states which were formerly parts of the british empire. the british commonwealth of nations encourages trade and friendly relations among its members. the queen is the official head of the commonwealth.
