The theory that it rose and fell does run into a few problems. For example there is a so-called special relationship between the UK and America but which way around is it? Did America ask Britain to fight Iraq or did Britain ask America? (Where did Saddam originate from?) Also the same issue with World War Two. Did America volunteer to help Britain out or was it persuaded to?
Another problem is that all our industry was dismantled and at approximately the same period a lot of industry appeared in China, yet Britain condemns the Chinese over human rights officially. All our jobs in call centres have been transferred to India but you know India was central to the British Empire, but just like Hong Kong it is officially not run by the British anymore. It seems odd that we should help our opponents at our expense like this so much. This brings me to the issue of when exactly was all of this power relinquished? Also what were the Bolsheviks doing in the City of London with those Jewish bankers who loaned them all of that money to set up a 'rival' power, as seen during the Cold War?
So, did it really fall or did it just go underground?
