They were able to get Natural Resources and goods to trade that otherwise would have been unavailable to them. Not to mention that it increased the size of their country and made them more powerful.

∙ 15y agoThe British empire benefited lots of people/countries. In the 1750's to the 1900's British had a very large empire with places like Kenya New Zealand And hong Kong Australia and America and Canada these are big place for such a small area. The British empire benefited Some people in These places but in India they were treat badly by us and so they rebelled obviously they did not benefit from this.

∙ 10y agoI can direct this answer to the American colonies of the British Empire. The most important benefits of being part of the British empire involved security and trade.
Any serious military threats from such nations as Spain or France were negated by the American colonists by the armed forces of Great Britain. Also, sea trade was also protected by the vast navy of the British empire.

∙ 7y agoThe British Empire has had many critics. It's all to easy to place their worldwide empire under the banner of colonialism and Imperialism. Yet despite that, there was a less spoken about aspect to the predominance in world affairs. Some call it "invisible exports" and these were valuable. England exported the rule of law and free trade throughout the world. As long as England ruled the seas, people of good nature could rest assured that piracy, cruel colonialism ( cruel in contrast to most of Britain's enemies ) were reduced and safety for many peoples was an unspoken benefit. In the view of many, the good far outweighed the bad if one was to judge the UK in the 19th century, for example.

And it's the Commonwealth which remains as Britains achievement in History.
