Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the British Empire dissolved between 1945 and 1997 as its colonies gained independence?

Yes. A reference source states the 1997 handover of Hong Kong symbolised the end of the British Empire, and other sources confirm rapid decolonisation after 1945. Together they cover the claim's 1945-1997 span.
