The Great Fire of London was one of many tragedies faced by England in the formative years of the British Empire. The fire burned for days and defied all attempts at containment as it swelled into a firestorm. By the end, over 13,000 homes and 87 churches were destroyed.
Some have seen this great tragedy as a turning point for London and Britain. The Great Plague that had crippled the city for over a year went immediately into decline. Just as the city was being reconstructed, so were the political and financial foundations of the British Empire.
