Ask a Brit!

[Labrador]

As in, historically, what are your thoughts on the way the British Empire worked, it's policies and the
different ways you think it may have positively or negatively affected the modern day UK.

That's what I was trying to say, basically.

I wanna answer one so here goes,

My stance on it is, the way the world used to work was some-what based on who has the biggest army. This lead to Britain being a major power, ruling over colonies thousands of miles away. However, this did cause the birth of the slave trade, which I personally find as something atrocious. Alternatively, our colonies brought about things like Tea and Sugar for Britain, which shaped today.

My personal opinion. For all the goof they brought, they caused a shot ton of bloodshed and slavery, all of which I don't see as "worth it" for a few colonies.

I wanna answer your answer so here I go,

The British Empire saw all right to do it as they had power, We gave civilisation to tribes which caused tons of civil wars today, We lost our empires due to the bloody World Wars. The colonies wanted new democracy and not high tax which is why we have the commonwealth which Is a stupid group of countries who have a commonwealth games for 0 reason.
