At the time of Empire, Britain found herself wielding the best of technology the world had to offer, and more than that - she had the will to use it. We felt it was our place as 'the most civilized' nation to 'help' the rest of the world. And we'd best be quick about it before someone else does. See related link for the general idea... At least this is my view on the subject, and I'm sure others will agree. However, as with most Empires - it came about because those in power wanted more, so took it.
