We have to look back at the past to get some vague answers.


Most empires raped/pillaged/stole/enslaved before the British came along. The British empire actually aquired the CEO of the Dutch empire and let him run things based on mercantilsm instead of outright theft. Spain was the last example of an 'old' empire.

The french attempted empire but lost Canada and the US to either Brits or free USasians. The remnants of the french empire include such shiholes as the Ivory Coast and  other 'backward' african countries (no offence). The ex-British empire has Zimbabwe but people forget that Zimbabwe and the rest of the southern Africa continent was perfectly able to feed itself (and feed the rest of Africa) although credit should go the Dutch for this.
