Accomplish rupture with British withdrawing (5)
I believe the answer is:
reach
'accomplish' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reach that I've seen before include "Arrive at a point" , "Get to; extent" , "Get as far as" , "Stretch of a river between two bends" , "Come to - stretch of river" .)
