How did Scotland gain independence from the British Empire? The British Empire is all but gone, with the last major overseas territory, Hong Kong, becoming a special administrative region of China in 1997. Scotland was an independent câ¦ountry until 1707, when the Union with England Act was passed.
It was difficult for Britain to support this principle for other countries, but deny it to countries in the Empire: Ireland rebelled between 1919 and 1921. In 1920â1921 it was divided into Northern Ireland, which was part of the UK, and the Irish Free State, a dominion [dominion: A country ruled by a single ruler.A self-governing colony of the British Empire.] like Canada. In 1937 it became more independent as Ãire. Ã©iren 1960, British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan admitted there was a wind of change in Africa. Most of Britain's African and Caribbean colonies achieved independence in the 1960s. In 1997, Britain formally handed Hong Kong back to China.
