Video: Why Wasn't the British Empire Ruled by A British Emperor? (Short Animated Documentary)

Most empires are ruled by Emperors yet one of the notable exceptions was the British Empire which was led only by either Kings or Queens. And given that much smaller empires like that of the German or Austro-Hungarian Empires were run by emperors it makes sense to ask why the largest empire ever was not. To find out why watch this short and simple animated history documentary.
