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.
The countries that now make up the United Kingdom, together with the present Republic of Ireland, were briefly ruled as a republic in the 17th century, first under the Commonwealth consisting of the Rump Parliament and the Council of State (1649â53) and then under the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell (1653â58).he SNP's official policy is that the British monarch would remain head of state of an independent Scotland, unless the people of Scotland decided otherwise. Plaid Cymru have a similar view for Wales. The Scottish Socialist Party and the Scottish Green Party both support an independent Scottish republic.
