The All-Time Greatest Great Britain

This small island civilization, its empire was the largest creation, with the widest trade connection, there are mixed views of our colonization. Many modern countries exist because of the British, many justifiably say our actions were most brutish. Some have hate for us and at the same time cherish, a widespread view of us creates an over embellish. If the French had won the Battle of Waterloo, slavery of Afrikaans would have continued. We went the distance with Hitler in World War 2, we stood on our own, alone, Europe was consumed. We stopped the slave trade and ended slavery, we embraced the need for diversity, we did what all were trying to do in history, so evil and good make up our legacy. Some say that we ruined Indian culture by installing our own counterculture, but we actually created the structure, of the largest economy upon our departure. We united over 1000 Indian languages, of divided tribes with age old grudges, after centuries of war and ambushes, our presence turned minorities into masses. So Indian culture was our creation, along with over 50 nations who had operated in separation, with their own disruptive situations. From the political to the football, the Rule of Law and Justice for All, our revolutionary age of the industrial, our revolutionary wars were evolutional. Building an empire was common, through brute force and invasion. Installations of our operations, now shape current reputations. Overlooking others empires not so far and wide, their mistreatment of locals and theft is put aside, the fact there is evil in our past can't be denied, but all others were evil and most unkind. The largest empire could have been French or Russian, the Russians operate with cruel oppression, the French Republic suggests a lack of compassion, all empires and countries have had transgression. Compare the places that Britain created with nearby places that are situated. Look at the economy of Gibraltar, it is better than Spanish cities by far. The living standards of the Falklands compared with Argentina, the powerhouse that is Hong Kong compared to China, the collapse of independent India and the success in Australia. Our rebel relative the USA, our ways were the foundation of their ways, created South Korea the third generation, all because of this island nation. Outdoing all Europe and the rest, creating the world we call the west, time and again we have passed the test, of all the civilizations Great Britain is the best.
