It was mostly due to decency and self reflection. We had conqoured multiple countries, then fought germany for doing so. Being not hypocrites, we realised that after fighting a conqouring nation that enslaved and exterminated it's victims, we couldnt really carry on doing it as well ourselves as that would make us as bad as them, so we set them all free.

Dumbest shit I ever heard, no the brits did not lose their empire because they were feeling kindly to the natives. Or because it was just somehow impossible to keep them.

The brits and French lost their empire because the Soviets and Americans.

The Soviets promised any rebel groups in colonized nations infinite AK47's and military advisors if they flew the red flag.

America promised to sanction Europe and obliterate them economically if they tried to swing their dick around in international affairs. (And the Washington proved they were serious about this threat during suez crisis.)


Basically the two strongest superpowers post ww2 broke from the post berlin-confrence regular international norm. Of not supporting rebel groups in another nation's colonial states.

I was listening to a podcast where they highlighted the death discrepancies between the German bombing of the West and the Allied bombing of Germistan, and of course they brought up the post-hoc justification that the germs were ethnic cleansing in the East. But Germany is part of the West -- you don't try to bomb 100s of 1000s of civilians and culture from your own culture... to defend Poland's sovereignty?

>they highlighted the death discrepancies between the German bombing of the West
Death disporportion of Axis/Allied bombing is the simple fact that Germany had no heavy bomber industry (too expensive & not aligned with their doctrine). It's not a question of being unwilling to conduct the same level of bombing campaign as the US and UK, but simply the impossibility to do so. German munition production could barely keep up manufacturing single-engine fighters to contest the air, let alone any real bombers.
German ruthlessness was displayed on the ground where cities would be razed through organised scorching and demolition. People would be killed through organised killing or starvation or 'left for dead' consequences.

>you don't try to bomb 100s of 1000s of civilians and culture from your own culture...
The easy answer to this is that the allies did not view the world through the lens of 'Kulturkampf' like the Germans did. Geopolitics was a pragmatic matter of the national self-interest, not defined or dictated by blood or heritage or ideology.

>to defend Poland's sovereignty?
Except the war was never about Poland, and this is constantly emphasised yet the 'pro-German' side of the debate seem to never comprehend it.
UK and France declared war to prevent a bigger and aggressive Germany from becoming bigger and more aggressive. Germany was the greatest threat because it's right at the border of France and UK, and has a capable military and a vast industry.
As for USA, it shouldnt have to be emphasised that USA never joined the war over Poland and it was never a war-aim of the US to defend Polish sovreignty, yet the US were the ones conducting the heaviest share of bombing German cities.

The truth is, the events of 1914-18 turned the British Empire from a self-sustaining system into a liability Britain could no longer afford. WWI did not end the empire, but it destroyed the conditions that had made its long-term survival possible. When you realise that, you'll see that the writing was on the wall for the empire long before Hitler even came to power. The idea that a neutral British Empire survives into the late 20th century is foolish fantasy fodder for white nationalist Anglos.

After WWI, the empire depended on US finance and goodwill. Any future major war would be unsustainable without it. Imperial control relied more on coercion than consent. The empire had no answer to the anti-imperial nationalism WWI birthed. Indeed, immediately after WWI, Britain loses Ireland, it gets cucked by the Turks during the Chanak Crisis, and the road to Indian independence opens with Amritsar. Australia, New Zealand, and Canada stop seeing themselves as extensions of Britain but as nation states in their own right with their own distinct foreign policy interests (this gets solidified in 1931 with the Statute of Westminster). You see, the fall of the empire was already underway. WWII may have exposed these weaknesses but they were created in WWI.

You're the retard here anon.
Indian independence was already on the table prior to ww2, a reform in 1935 granted effective self governance to local Indian governments. Atlee had talked in favour of Indian independence in the commons as early as 1933. Even Mosley, was somewhat sympathetic towards an Indian Dominion within the empire, and had met with Ghandi personally in the 1920s.
War of independence, and the British lack of stomach to commit to them, had also been demonstrated at this point in Ireland. And that was a core part of Britain, not a mere overseas territory.
>Basically the two strongest superpowers post ww2 broke from the post berlin-confrence regular international norm.
This was never an accepted norm, and if it was it had been dead since at least 1899 when Germany supplied the boer republics against Britain.

Paradoxbrained dweebs are genuinely incapable of understanding that no common Joe in Britain itself cared about "dah glorious Empire!!!" because life for the working class in Britain was fucking shit. We literally used to have favelas in London and Glasgow during the "Imperial Golden Age", people didn't shower because they didn't have running water at home and couldn't afford soap.
Brits didn't care about "losing our glory" because life for John Smith in 1965 Britain was a million times better than the life his father and grandfather had in 1925 or 1895.
The NHS, mass housing programs, accessible education, environmental regulations, etc. were far more relevant to everyday life than shooting Kenyans and theoretically ruling over Inuits in Nunavut.
Notice that every Brits' dream is not imperial glory, but to be in Australia (i.e irrelevant, but happy and tanned)
>>
>>18278516
To be fair Hitler was only supportive of the British empire if it was supportive of him. It was still barking mad of them to side with overtly hostile states like America and the USSR; but we don't how long an Anglo-German alliance would have lasted.
>>18280914
So Anglos spent 200 years sending their kids to work in coal mines for an empire they didn't even like? That sounds cucked

yeah retard, you finally woke up and looked around the world? Planet is full of nation states where the plebs are psyoped into believing in "national glory" that doesn't directly benefit them anyways. Americans right now are the foot soldiers of an Empire which fucks them over by shelling out cash for foreign states like Israel and Saudi Arabia while Joe Doe in West Virginia has a lower life expectancy than the Chinese do these days

This is the correct answer.

Britain would have to turn full fascist-mode to maintain her empire, which she obviously wouldnt do. People in Britain were outraged when they heard of the Amritsar massacre.
And even if she did, it would likely have made things worse because violence only increase resistance.

Not that any of it matters because the average Briton had figured out that the empire was not in their best interest. They wanted public healthcare, pension, public education. The empire was mostly power-projection and prestige, it was the elite who care about it.
The empire was a net-drain, in fact, de-colonization was a vast improvement for the former colonial empires because Europe could now take advantage of cheap sold resources and cheap labour, without having to pay for the expenses because the independent state did so themselves.

Only nazi faggot here cares about map painting and act like it's the only thing important in life.

Everyone didn’t hate colonialism after Hitler though. Britain and France did everything they could to regain their empires in Africa and Asia post WW2. The British Empire wouldn’t fully end until 1997 when the Hong Kong handover took place
>>
>>18281055
Hence the psyoped into believing bit. Americans are fucking stupid and think their aristocracy are their friends.
>>
>>18281277
Hong Kong is a prime example that contradicts your entire argument moron. Britain did everything they could to ensure a smooth transition to create a commonwealth of economically friendly new states without getting bogged down in bloody and futile wars.
The French did the complete opposite and tried to resist de-colonization with force, and lost every time because you simply cannot defeat an entire people who has decided to be independent..
>>
>>18281358
Gotta admit Britain fighting to the last to keep HK would've been kino (even if it would be a humiliating repeat of the fall of Goa)
>>
>>18281348
Your argument was that the British public didn't support their empire, not that it didn't benefit them.
Either way it's a shallow argument though. Imperialism does benefit the dominant nation by giving it access to new markets and resources it wouldn't have otherwise.

>>
>>18281599
It was literally how the empire became irrecoverable and sold off to the US.

Do you think free trade is a state of nature or a military policy?
its a military policy and has to be enforced.
The British Empire guaranteeing security on the sea is what funded their empire of speculation and literal physical space.
The US took on these during WWII in exchange for supporting the UK, buying and leasing bases.
>>
>>18281358
How does it contradict my argument? My argument is that colonialism didn't end because of Hitler. HK remaining a British colony for decades after WW2 proves that point. Yes Britain did willingly handover the territory because they had no way of defending it. If the PRC showed no interest in taking Hong Kong I'm sure the British would've kept it
>>
>>18281270
No way Polack
>>
>>18282051
The UK was still recovering economically from the first world war, the second one caused them to go into debt to the US and they had to sell off their global bases. The war did cost them the empire.

>>18278516
>Hitler was supportive of the British Empire
Hitler believed Britain was ruled ran by Jews the same as he believd Russia was.
>>
>>18278617
And they had to fight a forever war that was a drain on their economy.

Reasons why Hitler couldn't be friends with Britain:
>after wwi violent conquest and imperialism was going out of fashion
>british nationalism was at odds with german nationalism
>hitler believed britain was ruled by the same secret jewish cabal that was in america and russia
>hitler wasn't seen as trustworthy despite his promises and adoration to britain
>a united europe dominayed by germany could strangle britain
