probably because the british, like the romans, have a history of greed for power and conquest. in their histry someone has always wanted someone elses cup of tea, metaphorically speaking. The British wanted to expand there rule and wanted to spread Christianity to the far east(India-Pakistan-Africa-Australia, New Zealand) & west (west Indies, Canada, north & south Americas) which brought with it trades in silk, cotton, tea, Tabaco, coffee, sugar, gold-silver, and slave labour, and we gave them the know how of farming, policing, war fare, governance etc.
