I thought it was the involvement in WW2 that destroyed their empire

THEY GAVE US TRAINS

If this is what a "failed" empire looks like what the fuck are the rest of you? We should all be so lucky as to be part of such a failure.

Yes, for most nations. India is somewhat of an exception.
Though from the chart, it would seem India was declining long before we subjugated them.

Only a matter of time before the Indian, Pakistani doctors and nurses in the NHS decide to go rogue giving Anglos a superbug strain

how is it the USA's fault that the British wanted to destroy Germany, no matter the cost (which ended up costing them their empire) ?

cringe

here we fucking go

We were happy to let Europe destroy itself until they threatened your ungrateful ass.

Seething angloids

The UK guaranteed Belgium to have a casus belli against Germany/France if one tried to defeat the other and establish continental hegemony, it wasn't about muh neutrality

They literally gave it to us. We didn't do shit.

they gave us nothing, canada isn't part of the US

Anyone else hate the UK for once having a continent spanning empire?

Or you could have just not invaded Belgium.

Maybe, but that doesn't change anything. Had you not invaded Belgium, Britain would not have entered the war unless directly provoked, just like the USA.

You're thinking of France.

that does make me happy. they deserved it

>Their years under British rule were the most prosperous they ever experienced
They'd be much more prosperous on their own if the Empire didn't pull the rug out from under them in the process of decolonization

Sure, but we never should have decolonised in the first place.

>use Belgium to destroy Germany
>doesn't turn out so well
>blame everything on Germany, and insult Belgium for being a non-country
Nice try James, better luck next time

stop larping as your country. I didn't live 100 years ago, neither did you. what I said is correct nonetheless.
maybe, because then Germany probably wouldn't have had the upper hand over France + Russia due to the French border fortification. not certain. if Germany found a way to defeat France and Russia Britain would've joined, otherwise the balance of power would be irreversably changed. However the Franco-German border was heavily fortified so a German invasion of France was virtually impossible without violating Belgium.

No one insulted Belgium, schizo.
As I said, had the Germans not invaded Belgium, we would not have declared war. How is this so difficult for you to understand.

wtf I love the USA now

>Yes, for most nations. India is somewhat of an exception
lol don't delude yourself. Britain ruined China with opium, genocided a whole generation of Sinhalese, made east Africa an even worse place than it already was and even used mass murder methods against white people in places like Ireland or South Africa. Britain's success resided in being the best at playing tribes against each other.

yes but
>a German invasion of France was virtually impossible without violating Belgium.
That was the whole point. UK wanted to maintain the status quo. I don't see how maintaining the status quo during an era of relative peace is really a bad thing.

that's exactly what I was saying in the first place and I wasn't implying it was a bad thing. I was just pointing out that it wasn't due to British kindheartedness, it was in their interest to not let one power become a hegemon in Europe. Britain didn't give a shit about neutrality of other countries, otherwise it wouldn't have conquered a quarter of the globe

The British Empire was irrelevant.
>muh pakis and spearchuckers
Fuck off. The only parts that mattered was Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Fuck off Canuck

Many natives got massacred in the process of building incredibly successful nations. In most places it seems to have been worth it.

>this is how white people actually think
This is why I don’t feel bad for your countries.

Oh I see.
>it wasn't due to British kindheartedness
Absolutely, every nation acts in its self interest when interacting with other major powers. To think we were protecting the peace for some moral reason is completely delusional.

The collapse of the Empire was a series of comical errors starting with the decision to strip the Thirteen Colonies of self-government to and ending with the Great Wars against Germany. It deserved to die.

please be bait

The British Empire only became greater after the 18th century.

Empire is too expensive to maintain.
Having local gangsters run the business is much cheaper.

>UK wanted to maintain the status quo

UK wanted to destroy Germany. Germans took the bait and UK eventually got what they wanted.

Very much aware, doesn't contradict what I said. Strictly speaking the seeds of their defeat were pretty much sown when they started out colonizing though. Africa, India, and America are not places that can be conquered for long. Too vast, too far away. Short-term economic and technological advantages will only get you so far.

>UK
>more culturally dominant than the US

>muh 1776
>muh epic aryan ancestors sieg heil
you couldnt devise a more tragic muttpost. do consider suicide

Who are you quoting?

What the fuck are you talking about? The whole point of Belgian neutrality was to prevent either German or French European hegemony. It just so happened that it was the Germans that invaded Belgium.

holy shit this is a cliche post. MUH 1776 was inconsequential to the british empire as it barely even existed at the time. cliche rallying behind germany because Jow Forumscuck and thats where my epic prussian ancestors are from :))
please PLEASE die

Quit being so damn emotional. Can you imagine how much more wealthy the United Kingdom would have been if it had Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia in it's empire? The vast wealth of the prairies, which became Europe's breadbasket in the 19th century, the cotton, rice and tobacco of the south, and all the minerals and gold of the west?

Losing the Thirteen Colonies and being stuck with Canada was obviously a massive economic blue. You'd have to be a major simpleton to state otherwise.

Also I'm not rallying around Germany lol wtf are you on. Only stating that entering the wars were a mistake from the point of view of maintaining the Empire.

>US btfo's Germany and the soviets
>Also btfo's the UK without even trying
Why do people hate us again?

>the USA for destroying their beloved Empire
As if
It was the destruction of the three main opponents of the wilsonian ideal of self-determination (the axis) that led to increased pressure on colonial empires (that did not consider themselves as such ever since the start of the 1930's)
It was the victories of the social left in the democratic west that wanted to provide welfare instead of improving their empire possessions
It was WW2's support mentioning further autonomy in certain cases
The USA's precedent in independence played a minor role in comparaison, if any at all

By a wide margin

it would've been sparsely populated like canada

Why are Anglo posters such whiny cunts? I'm sorry I ever said Americans were the worst. The Canada/UK/Australia coalition is actually worse somehow.

Back to the rice fields etc
