1. Metropole

   The metropole, from the Greek metropolis for 'mother city' is a term used to indicate the British metropolitan centre of the British Empire, i.e. the United Kingdom itself. It is sometimes extended even further, in the sense of London being considered the metropole of the British Empire, insofar as its politicians and businessmen determined the economic, diplomatic, and military character of the rest of the Empire. By contrast, the periphery was the rest of the Empire, outside the United Kingdom itself.
