Little Briton

Little Briton was a phrase applied to a wing of the Liberal Party opposed to expansion of the British Empire in the 19th century, who wanted "Great Britain" to extend no farther than the borders of the United Kingdom. In the late 18th and 19th centuries the term was used for those Britons who looked upon the colonies of the British Empire as economically burdensome and wished the granting of self-government as quickly as possible.
