In my thesis I try to focus on the previously unknown cultural exhange between the various parts of the British Empire and later of the Commonwealth. I began analysing everything from the 16th century up until the times of Queen Elizabeth II. I would like to focus on the origins of the Empire, its heyday, how it ended and what the present and the future could look like for the British. I hope I could focus on the better (and worse) parts of the cultural, political and financial connections of the Empire and the Commonwealth, as the both had and still have an incredibly powerful affect on the present day state of the country. It cannot be predicted what will happen in the future, but at the end of the thesis I tried to highlight the diplomatic importance of the British Royal Family and how they are able to hold together the institution.
