Based loosely on a poem of the same title by Rudyard Kipling (1899) - it was the alleged duty of the white race (usually British, of course) to care for subject peoples of other races in its colonial possessions. Despite the fact that the other races didn't want to be governed by the white race in the first place, it was amazing that the British Empire lasted so long.
