In the passage, the writer ----.
The way in which British people view Britain's role in
the world is still influenced by its past. Today Britain is
an important regional power, but in the recent past
it was a world power. Until World War II, Britain ruled
the largest empire that the world has ever known.
Incredible as it may seem today, during the 1920s,
almost one-fifth of the world's population lived under
British rule. But the empire disappeared rapidly
during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as the colonies
that had made up the empire gained their
independence. In the aftermath of the empire, British
leaders were not very successful in adapting to play a
much smaller part in world affairs. However, Britain's
allies made it clear that they no longer saw Britain as
a major force in world politics. The “special
relationship” which was said to exist between Britain
and the United States weakened as other European
countries, particularly Germany, recovered after
World War II. So, whereas London had been
recognized by American leaders as the “capital” of
Europe during the 1940s and the 1950s, Bonn was
seen as the new capital of Europe during the 1960s.
