Indeed, just as 20th century, in particular its second half, belonged to a large degree to the US, and somewhere in the next century the staff will pass on to the Chinese, the 19th century saw Britain as a world empire, and the atrocities committed there in terms of international policy were no less than those of the US. In fact, much of the world's actual stucture is due to British colonialism. Point being - how far back should we reach? After all, following the sweep of Julius Ceasar in Gallia, an estimated 55% of the entire Gallic population was eradicated. The South American continent's ruin was started with the conquistadores. Should we march on Rome? On Madrid? Future ways should be mended, and lessons learnt from history. Le passé est passé, l'avenir à venir.

At least the Brits had the decency to give the world something in return: the invention of self-deprecating humor.
