Okay, I was talking when thinking of "eastern" Europe (Germany and further east). The British (Highland Scotland, Ireland even more) and French of Napoleon (like in Spain, where we participated in the atrocities without defecting to the nationalists, unlike our defections in Haiti where the black nationalists recognised as "the white niggers of Europe" that was a compliment) empires were also fucking awful in the "western" Europe.
Oh man, imperialism, so "very good for the subject populations".
Also fuck the Swedish empire, just the fucking worst.
The British (Highland Scotland, Ireland even more)
Scotland benefited immensely from the Union with Britain. It was also not 'colonialism'. Your knowledge of the history may come from Braveheart, but the Scots actually repelled the English. England and Scotland came under the personal union of the Stuart monarchs in 1603 and they formally unified a century later.
Oh man, imperialism, so "very good for the subject populations".
You think India would be better off or worse off without the British presence?
