Answer 1

The British Empire in 1900 was at its peak, ruling over various territories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British Empire in 1900 was at its peak, ruling over various territories.

By the early 20th century, the British Empire controlled roughly 25% of the world's surface and had dominions all around the globe. It had major territorial holdings in Canada, South Africa, India, Egypt, and various islands, as well as ports in China.

The empire's economic and military prowess established it as the world's arbitrator and controller of territories, making it a dominant superpower at that time.
