Yes, they were. The British Empire was the biggest by 1900 - it stretched across the world: Canada, big territories in Africa, India, Indonesia, Australia, etc. The French had big colonies in Africa and south-East Asia. The British had the largest navy in the world. These imperialist countries (countries leading a policy of extending their power by military force and acquiring colonies) had strategic, political and economic reasons for improving their positions in undeveloped areas of the world.
