The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, often known as the United Kingdom (UK), is an imperialist country mainly located in the European island of Great Britain with several other occupied or colonial holdings overseas, which most notably includes Northern Ireland.[2]

The United Kingdom has historically served as one of the largest colonialist and later imperialist powers, often committing brutal atrocities against its subjugated populations in India, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. The United Kingdom is currently associated with many Western imperialist associations such as the North Atlantic Treat Organization.[3]
