British history has been a history of invasions?
No, nobody has successfully invaded Britain since the Romans under Caesar and then Claudius. At that time, however, Britain was not a unified country. Britain's island, rough seas surrounding it, and great navy have prevented it from being invaded by foreign enemies. It could be interpreted that British history has been a history of invading other countries. In the case of Australia and New Zealand, for example, the British could be seen to have invaded these quiet peaceful countries and turned the lives of the indigenous people upside down. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Britain sought to expand its empire by colonising other countries such as India, Burma, Rhodesia, The Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and numerous other countries of Africa. At one stage, the British empire, achieved largely through invasion and colonisation, was the largest Empire in the world.
What other countries were also interested in India during the british Empire?
Portugeese & French
Why did the british spend money invading an empire?
they wanted more power and to steal things from other countries
What is the purpose of the british empire?
the purpose was so that they could rule the other countries and use them to make their profit.
How did the British Empire not benefit its Empire?
I think it is fair, at least I hope it is, to say that Britain did well for the Empire. I also hope that those who were subjected to British rule, for as long as it lasted, do not feel that the British are too bad a lot. I am British, but I do not see myself now as a master of anything other than a small piece of real estate in UK. It was the way things were then. I am not going to be apologetic about what the British did, yes, we didn't get it right all the time. But it is the thrust of my point that there have been many, far worse Imperial powers in history. In some instances Britain did benefit its colonies. And if all you think we did was to spread Cricket & Christianity then there are worse things than those in this world.
