The British Empire established by the United Kingdom was for almost a century the world's leading economic, political, cultural and scientific power. It has often been described as the world's first hyperpower, mainly because of its hegemony and size.At its zenith, in the early decades of the 20th century, it had a population of 400-500 million (about a quarter of the human race) and spanned territories covering 36.6 million square kilometers (about a quarter of the world's land mass), establishing itself as the largest empire in history.
