Neither country dealt with it perfectly, leading to uprisings among the colonials. France certainly did worse, leading to bloody wars in French Indochina and Algeria. Britain lost Palestine, Egypt, and India, and fought a war in Malaysia. Yet, both countries managed to remain world powers, even if they had to share it with the USA, USSR, and China.
