I agree that empires cost a lot long term. The UK has suffered as a result of their colonial history.

Really? How?

look how high their population has risen because of imigration from former colonies. Welath is spread out amongst more people instead of places of other countries with smaller populations. they are not poor but you have places like N. Ire and scotland demanding a lot more than they can really afford to give.
