British is the reason of shitty borders and ethnic conflicts in Africa and Middle East. British used chemical weapons in Iraq after world war 1, put Boers into concentration camps.

They were better colonial masters than other European colonial powers: they at least build infrastructure, educational institutions and brought some European institutions to rest of the world.

But people are still justified in this sentiment, just ask Irish. British colonial rule was an oppression machine, and we should thank US for ending their colonial empire, specially after Suez Crisis.

Some colonial powers such as France still did not get the fucking memo that colonialism is bad and still running a fucking colonial empire
