How many people in the world are of british descent?

The British Empire was one of the largest empires in history and, at its peak, it covered 25% of the world's land surface and had a population of over 450 million people. As a result, there are a significant number of people of British descent around the world.

The number of people of British descent is difficult to determine precisely as there is no definitive definition of what it means to be of British descent. However, it is estimated that there are around 100-150 million people of British descent worldwide.

The largest number of people of British descent are found in the United States, where there are an estimated 60 million people of British descent. This is due to the large number of British immigrants who settled in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Other countries with large numbers of people of British descent include Canada (10 million people), Australia (6 million people), New Zealand (1.5 million people), and South Africa (1 million people).

There are also significant numbers of people of British descent in other parts of the world, including the Caribbean, Latin America, and Asia.
