You hear a lot lately bemoaning the former British empire, those wanting reparations, apologies, but mostly just lots and lots of attention. Regardless, when you consider it, where would the world be today without the influence of the British empire?

Ireland, today, has a smaller population than it did prior to the potato famine.

The nags on The View think England should pay reparations.

India? Weren’t they a thriving empire in the sub continent prior to complete British exploitation and resource thievery?

Not a colony, but Palestine hasn't improved post British involvement.

Sure, the British are responsible for all of the technological advances the past century that made the world a better place. Authoritarian government is always the solution.

Be careful, you are saying something that makes people uncomfortable. So no matter how truthful what you say is, you are in danger of being banned.

Fixed the title for you.
What area is better off having been colonized? Kinda hard to include the America’s and Australia considering the original inhabitants don’t control much anymore. Hong Kong had it good for awhile but that’s over. Mesopotamia got carved up and fricked over hard after WW1 and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Actions England took in what’s now Iraq directly led to the rise of Saddam and left the Kurds with no right to self govern.

New York, Virginia, Maryland, etc. were nice enough for the folks living there for centuries until the Brits colonized them and wiped out all the residents by disease or murder.
The areas are “better off” for the colonists who took over, but not for the folks who were there first.

Many African countries were exploding in a positive manner until the British relinquished rule...then they turned to shite again

How did the British manage to take over so many people spread over so much of the world? More modern weapons and battle tactics?
