The term refers to the colonies it controlled, to the Indian Empire, which, while not officially designated a colony, was functionally indistinguishable from one, and the British Dominions - former colonies which were self-governing in most respects but whose foreign policy was controlled by London; Canada, Australia, Newfoundland, New Zealand and South Africa.
# Entries on a yellowish background refer to severed diplomatic relations only, not to actual declarations of war
