    Not to be an imperial apologist, but there was one colony that was actually better off under British rule and that was Hong Kong.

      I think Hong Kong is the rare exception that’s at least possible to reasonably argue, since the alternative was never independence but being ruled by someone granting even fewer freedoms.
