United Kingdom

The United Kingdom, commonly known as the UK, Great Britain or simply Britain is a faction featured in the Battlefield games Battlefield 1942 (and both expansions) and Battlefield 2: Special Forces (as the SAS). Technically, as a member of the European Union, British forces are also featured in Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 2: Euro Force.

At it's height, the British Empire, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface, the largest empire in history. The British Empire was not fully dissolved until after World War II, hence many battles featuring Britain in Battlefield 1942 are either in Europe or in former British colonies. For example, major engagements in North Africa. In real life, British troops also played a large part in the war in Asia, defending colonies in India, Burma, Singapore and Malaya.
