I think the end of WW1. Great Britian was severely economically wounded by the war and only went downhill from there. WW2 and later the Suez Crisis in 1956, was the final nail in the coffin.

@trendtradertrender4328 Yes, suggesting an average lifespan of about 250 years for empires is feasible and has been proposed by some historians, although it's a broad generalization. This figure can serve as a rough median, capturing the duration across various historical contexts. The notion of a 250-year average often comes from examining a wide range of empires with different geographical scopes, technological levels, and governance models. For instance, some empires like the Neo-Assyrian Empire or certain Chinese dynasties lasted around that duration before experiencing significant transformation or collapse. Others, like the Roman and Ottoman Empires, significantly exceeded this average, while shorter-lived empires, like the Mongol Empire in its most unified form, fell below it. However, it's essential to note that such an average doesn't account for the complexity and variability of historical conditions. Empires didn't follow a uniform lifecycle and were affected by a multitude of internal and external factors that could drastically extend or shorten their existence. The 250-year figure, while useful as a statistical snapshot, should be considered with these nuances in mind.
