      Historically, the term Little Englander indicated an anti-imperialist political stance dating from the time of the Second Boer War (1899–1902) and was often applied to the personal ideology of William Gladstone. The term later designated people who were against the British Empire and for "England" to extend no further than the borders of the United Kingdom – for example, Arthur Ponsonby wrote of the Liberal Party leader Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's reputation for his opposition to the Boer War: "The impression one got of him from the Press in those days was… that he was an unpatriotic Little Englander".
