Fully agree. The British Empire was evil but that was the game back then sadly. British Empire just came up tops and lot of that due to luck and right timing i.e modern advances came just as Europe was on the come up. When the Ottoman Empire got to Vienna you don't think they also wanted to conquer all of western Europe and also all of Africa and North America if they could? Of course they did. That was the game for most of the world and its empires. Expand as far as you could from British and French to Ottomans to the Chinese or Mughals. Some did more barbaric stuff i.e the France and Belgium took savage to a new level, but lets not act like back then with the morality levels back then, everyone wouldn't taken over the world if they could.
Now British approach was clearly more racist and foul like for example Ottomans would enslave you if you were African or a white Circassian, but if we're talking in terms of desire for power, empire, EVERY ruler wanted that shyt.
