Britain was the greatest state through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the early period of the twentieth century all over the wrld. It played a worldwide financial, industrial, commercial and nautical role; moreover the wide extension of the empire, that the sun does not miss it, helped a lot in supporting its strength. Yet, the stumbling economy, the loss of the empire of many strips after the year 1945 contributed in declining its strength. After the previously mentioned year, Britain lowered its commitments regularly abroad, when most of its settlements became independent. Likewise, Britain reduced its interventions in the Middle East during Suez Canal crisis in 1956 that ended the Britain role as a great power. Nevertheless, this did not prevent Britain from establishing tied political relations with USA, France, and Germany to the NATO following years of negotiations. Britain joined the Common Markets in 1973, which is currently known as European Union. Noting that Britain did not joint financially to the European Union, and it kept its currency which is Sterling Pound as the official currency in transactions. Yet, the Sterling Pound was still kept separated from the Euro the reason that partly protected Britain from the financial crisis of the European Union in 2011. Nevertheless, The United Kingdom is still a great power and a permanent member to the UN Security Council, a founding member in the NATO, Cooperation and Development Organization, World Trade Organization, European Council, Security and Cooperation Organization, Group of the Seven countries, Group of Eight Countries, Group of Twenty Countries, this is in addition of being The Head of the Commonwealth which is the heritage of the British Empire.
