Hate to jump in here, but empire has weird connotations; even after the birth of the German Republic in 1919, plenty of people still referred to the German Empire, and not just on the right.Atlantic Friend said:Nobody would complain about British Empire in the 1930s. Probably, as decolonization kicks in in the 1960s, it will change names to become a Commonwealth or Union, but in the 1930s, it's the Empire and the sun still can't exactly set on it !
