How do bong feel about how their colonies turned out? I for one am ashamed of Great Britain not for anything it did in the past but because they turned into faggy wankers. I can't believe these homos used to oppress my ancestors

We should have kept Hawaii and Egypt.

I say we turn UK into an American colony. Not state or territory. Just a colony.

I think Canada keeps the monarchy so they have something to blame for their own dumb decisions. you seem to like Europe more than us, we are just in the way.

OP, we're in the "good" timeline.

Let's examine the other colonial empires.
>Portugal
Literal natural disaster skullfucked their country and then dynastic disputes lost them their main colony. Entire Empire toppled.
>Spain
HARD collapse, endless wars and domestic strife+being used as a battleground by more relevant nations.
>France
Similar to France, forcefully dismantled either by more powerful nations or (later on) brought to its knees by LOSING wars to third worlders. Brutal, and embarassing.
>Netherlands
Fucked by the Brits, then GIGAFUCKED by Germany and Japan, THEN forced to give away the rest. Humiliating and costly.


Compare that to Britain:
>Entered 20th Century with the most intact+united+powerful Empire
>Saw the writing on the wall
>Used the colonies and dominions to avoid getting skullfucked by Germany
>Cut loose all the shitty asian and african parts that weren't profitable
>Somehow convinced almost all the settler colonies to retain political+cultural+economic ties with the British monarch as head of state
>Some of these links *STILL IN PLACE TODAY*
>Worst forever war was Ireland, which was 3 years, and ended with the establishment of a Dominion

Things could have been better, sure. But they also could have been much, much, much, much worse. In terms of "the fate of colonial Empires", Britain is very lucky.
