England never set out to establish a huge empire. That happened step by step as England, and later the United Kingdom, sought trade opportunities and reacted to trade and political moves by its rivals. Of course, once the empire was established, most in the UK saw that value to themselves of continuing it, and that also often resulted in it being enlarged.
