| Bio notes | A longtime world hegemon, the British Government of the 18th and 19th centuries administrated the largest empire in history. Beginning in the early 17th century it was active in the New World, establishing colonies on the east coast of North America and interacting with Native Americans, the Iroquois famously one of its major allies. Following the French and Indian War, it gained control of Canada but also doubled its debt, leading to increased taxes on the colonies and thus the Revolutionary War. After losing the United States the Empire shifted most of its attention to eastern colonial projects, although it still administrated Canada, where loyalist allies (both colonial and Indian) were rewarded with land. The Empire clashed with the United States in the War of 1812 when the latter refused to stop trading with France. |
