Britain should have conquered the world

[Heraclitus]

Looking at former British colonies I can't help but notice that they seem to do better than those that where conquered by other people, such as the Portugese, Spanish, French, Chinese, Mongolian, Arabs, Zulu or Persian.



So what would the world have been like if the British empire or a union of the US and Britain in the early 20th century kept expanding? Lets try some alternative history wankery.

The world would be a hell of a lot better, that's for damn sure!

England Uber Alles!



The world would be a better place if those revolting colonists in New England had been properly put in their place.

We should all agree that the Belgians were the worst colonizers by far, even if Hera's initial point is bull.

Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Iraq....

Sorry, but Mozambique was Portugal. Still, carry on.

Oh, and Nigeria...

Zimbabwe used to be a great country, back when it was Rhodesia. Or at least, it used to be able to feed itself and not die of cholera, which is a relative improvement.

Hera's point is bull

The British Colonies that are doing great are those in which the locals were replaced or overwhelmed with British colonists, when you look at the asian and african colonies, your point does not stand.

Wales, and they even have had some 800 years to fix it.
