Was Ireland a part of the British Empire or was it considered just a constituent part of the United Kingdown? The article mentions Ireland becoming independent of the British Empire. Was it ever in it? [[User:Hannibal ad portas|Hannibal ad portas]] 02:52, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

: You're correct. Ireland was an integral part of the ''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'' (Dublin was considered the Empires second city), it was never considered a colony. It was the United Kingdom (rather than the British Empire) it broke away from. [[User:Mrjimbob|Mrjimbob]] 18:11, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

== No longer a world power ==
I question the claim that the UK is no longer a world power. Yes, it's not as powerful as it used to be, but I think it's still a world power. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 01:09, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
