The largest country in the world is not the United Kingdom

After the weakening of the Spanish Empire, the second to receive the title of "empire on which the sun never sets" was the British Empire. After defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588, England gradually replaced Spain as the emerging hegemonic power on the seas, and began to expand its overseas colonies. Later, in the Anglo-Dutch War and the Seven Years' War, Britain defeated its strongest rivals, the Netherlands and France, seized large colonies in both countries, and established maritime supremacy.

Britain's victory in the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 further consolidated its position as an international political and military power, and the Industrial Revolution made Britain an indisputable economic power. At the height of the Victorian British Empire, some 450 million people — about a quarter of the world's population — were subjects of the British Empire, which covered an area of about 30 million square kilometres, or 20 per cent of the world's total land mass, from the British Isles to The Gambia, Newfoundland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Malaya, Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma, India, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Malta and countless islands, all 24 time zones on Earth are territories of the British Empire. The international order under British hegemony was called "Peace under Britain".

The British Empire's global map, published in Britain, usually marked in red, gives a clear picture of the global influence of this huge empire, which was the largest country then, but certainly not now.
