The Great "Boo" Empire - Ridiculing Foreign Countries (II)

In the last issue, I briefly talked about the French terrier, so this time I will talk about the United Kingdom, which loves and kills France.

The British Empire is regarded by the international community and historians as the largest colonial empire in the history of the world. It is also recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest empire in history.

But why is the former empire now ridiculed by netizens as a big "boo"?

Then we have to briefly understand the development process of Britain. Britain participated in world war I in 1914. Later, as a victorious power, it seized Germany's former colony at the Paris Peace Conference, and its territory was unprecedentedly large, covering a quarter of the world's land. Seven continents, four oceans, on the territory of the British Empire there will always be a place where the sun shines, so there is the title of "Empire where the sun never sets".

But we all know that the "Paris Peace Conference" was a very unequal treaty, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent World War II. Britain was exhausted after the attrition of World War II, when the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, rapidly rose to carve up vested interests. The rise of a global nationalist movement exacerbated the disintegration of the British Empire, which is now the Commonwealth.

In order to ridicule the United Kingdom, netizens used the consonant word "big boo" with irony.

The more famous news is that thousands of British football hooligans in Euro 2016 were beaten by 200 Russian fighting nations.
