So I've been reading this book and it got me to wondering...how come the rise and fall of the British Empire isn't talked about more? Amongst /his/tory buffs?

It seems like the Roman and Byzantine empires are so glamorized for what they did and posters act sad about their demise...but why not the Brits?

What they did was even more impressive than the Romans.

Not only that, the Brits actually did try to help a lot of native tribes of colonies and such. Not saying they didn't occasionally slaughter them. But compared to the other world powers at the time, they were pretty tame.

So why don't they get more love?

It's a mistake to be tame as an imperial power. Either be utterly ruthless or be a total bleeding heart. Going half-way just ensures you'll be hated forever for various reasons relating to how man's psychology works.
