Because there was so much of it I guess. It spread Christianity & taught the 'Natives' how to beat us at Cricket. (Which they now do on an all too regular basis) Oh, and we, the British, made an awful lot of money from it. It's my hope that History will, in the long term, judge the Empire Britain had as a good thing for the world. If that's not the case then someone will have to come up with something better...... here's hoping !
Cricket isn't a British game its an English game really..
Football is much more-so in Scotland and also England
Wales its more Rugby noted for
Ireland and Scotland also Shinty

∙ 13y agoThe Indian Empire a residue of the ancient and worldwide Bharat empire was home to vast resources (gold, silver,copper etc), spices, technologies as well as a well established educational system -the gurukul.
Even before the establishment of universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, India was home to a world renowned university system e.g. Nalanda that was quoted by intellectuals such as Socrates.
Cristobal Colon ( Columbus) in an attempt to gain riches for his benefactors set off for India to make his fortune..got lost and ended up in a remnant of the ancient Bharat empire..which had been cut off after the great war of the Kings - (the princes of light) a bit over 5000 years ago.
The British as with other invaders saw India as a quick means to wealth - made more easily obtained by the peaceful nature of the majority of the population.

∙ 12y agoThe Empire was primarily a trading organisation, although later came to possess a near-messianic character concerned with Britain's place in the world, spreading civilization etc etc. Queen Victoria was especially fond of this role but then, as Queen Emperor she would be, wouldn't she. India was important both as an importer of British manufactured goods and a supplier of products like tea, jute, exotic timber, spices and indeed bonded workers and minor bureaucrats for other colonies like the West Indies, Fiji and Malaya. India was important because of its size; its own civilization; location, inasmuch as it dominated other trade routes; and controlling it really annoyed the French. A great deal of British, or English, foreign policy has always been concerned with annoying the French which is something of a national sport. The British Empire broke up when it was no longer economically viable. Civilising the world is expensive, USA please note.
