Here come the rose-tinted specs....
I'd rather like to be one of those pioneers in the 18th and 19th centuries who were responsible for extending the reach and power of the British Empire - Rhodes, Clive, Cook. Creating (what they believed to be) a better world order and a stable and united world.
Of course, they all had personality defects and the "Greatest Empire" the world has ever seen was over and done with in 150 years, leaving a real mess in it's wake.
Next time, we'll get it right...
