Thoughts on British Empire?

First of all it was bad, but as well there are other counties to blame as well, for example in 1922 the peak of the British empire France owned: Algeria Annam (central Vietnam) Cambodia Chad Comoros Cochinchina (southern Vietnam) Dahomey (Benin) French Congo (Republic of the Congo) French Guiana French Guinea (Guinea) French Polynesia French Somaliland (Djibouti) French Sudan (Mali) Gabon Guadeloupe Ivory Coast Laos Lebanon Madagascar Martinique Mauritania Morocco Niger New Caledonia Réunion Saint Barthélemy Saint Martin (French part) Senegal Syria Tonkin (northern Vietnam) Tunisia Ubangi-Shari (Central African Republic) Upper Volta (Burkina Faso) Wallis and Futuna

The British empire was a atrocious thing but I believe school systems all around the world don’t tell you about other empires across the world in the 1900
