INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that World War I caused the fall of the British Empire?
Unclear. Two reference works indicate the British Empire was dismantled mainly after the Second World War, with its territorial peak in 1920, and one scholarly chapter dates its folding to the post-Second World War period. None of the retrieved items directly examines whether the First World War caused the Empire's fall.
