Why were they so intent on screwing up Europe for the past 400 years?
>Spain tried to unite Europe against a common threat - Britain opposed them and let the outside threat win
>Napoleon tried to unite Europe against a common threat - Britain opposed him and let the outside threat win
>Hitler tried to unite Europe against a common threat - Britain opposed him and let the outside threat win

Really, WTF was their problem?

Napoleon was the threat. He was the one liberating Jews

I just think Britain is such an odd empire. Its past, present, and futures are interesting to educate yourself on. I hope it restores itself back to its former glory. But also, in between, get rid of their shitty caste system.

What threats were Spain and Napoleon resisting?
>>18054377
If they import enough of the right kind of immigrants they might become pretty powerfull again.

They fucked up by going against Spain, but Napoleon and Hitler were literal tyrants who would've just turned Europe into Big France or Big Germany

>>18054354
Britain fought to keep Europe free. Napoleon and Hitler were evil dictators

They saved Europe in all these cases.

Being based. The Pope said Spain and Portugal deserve to own the entire world because those countries saved Europe from the Muslim invasions with the Reconquest and then went on to be the only good Empires in the colonial period. The First French Empire was horribly managed and literally caused the Revolution because they blew so much money, and the British Empire was just drug dealing and rent seeking in order to fund the military and all the fagginess of Victorian England. The Portuguese Empire was the longest running colonial Empire in human history despite the British stabbing the Portuguese in the back multiple times, and Spain literally created an entire world of Spanish speaking people in South America. The British Empire's major accomplishments were all military, there was hardly an actual Empire considering how much territory it controlled. Only the Tories are still fond of the British Empire because it was only good for the rich fucks in Westminster while the people were being sent off to die in the badlands.

They lacked the ability to expand themselves because of their status as an Island nation, so they could only mitigate the expansion of other states.

This is the simple answer
