Episode notes
The decline of the British Empire post-World War I was mainly attributed to financial strain from the war, as the Empire had depleted its resources and assets during the conflict. Additionally, the Empire was morally demoralized due to the massive loss of young men during the war, which left it hollowed out. The working class became cynical towards the upper class leadership, especially the generals who were blamed for the disastrous strategies employed in the war. Furthermore, strategic threats from Japan, Italy, and Germany in the 1930s further weakened the Empire, creating a complex and challenging situation for its sustainability.
