18th and 19th-century
In the 18th and 19th-centuries, British colonies began to diverge from Britain itself, in one case leading to war. At some point, the British constructed a training and refueling base on Diego Garcia due to the island's position near India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Africa. During World War II, the British managed to crack a German code.

22nd-century
In the 22nd-century, the Houses of Parliament were destroyed in an act of domestic terrorism.
