Question

1. what did britain gain as a result of the war?

Explanation:

The question requires historical knowledge about what Britain obtained post - war. Historical events and their outcomes are considered.

Answer:

Without specific war mentioned, it's hard to give a definite answer. If it's the Seven Years' War, Britain gained large amounts of territory in North America and India. If it's World War I, Britain had some territorial adjustments and influence in the Middle - East through mandates. If it's World War II, Britain maintained its status as a major power but faced economic challenges. More context about the war is needed for a precise response.
