BACKGROUND MAIN MENU The United Kingdom has historically played
a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in
advancing literature and science. At its zenith in the 19th
century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the
earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's
strength seriously depleted in two world wars and the Irish
Republic's withdrawal from the union. The second half witnessed the
dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a
modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent
members of the UN Security Council and a founding member of NATO
and the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign
policy. The UK is also an active member of the EU, although it
chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. The
Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the
Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999. The latter was
suspended until May 2007 due to wrangling over the peace process,
but devolution was fully completed in March 2010.
