The Empire was a British creation, not solely an English one.
The UK, itself, had nothing to do with the Empire as it was simply a constitutional framework to unite Scotland to England and Wales (in 1707) and, subsequently, Ireland. The Empire was being built before the UK existed in an constitutional sense.
Yes of course it was. The Empire was starting to be created in the 17th century, in North America as it happens but that's by-the-by.
