Why did the British lose their empire?

Impact of WWII? Check. British atrocities? Yes. Kwame Nkrumah & Ghana? Yup. Mau Mau Rebellion? Included. Suez Crisis? Tick.

All these causes and more are mentioned on an accessible worksheet that summarises multiple reasons behind the big question: Why did the British lose their empire?

Tried to ensure all abilities can access the main causes - core ideas are straightforward and concise - whilst also including information that will stretch the most able and prompt further research and/or thinking. For example, the Atlantic Charter of 1941 or Eden’s resignation after the Suez Crisis. Lastly, offered some questions at the bottom of the worksheet around categorisation and prioritisation of causes as well as a ‘what if…’ style scenario question: If Britain had remained neutral during WWII would the empire have survived?
