You could have taken China too. Here's Sun Yat Sen Writing On The Topic

> We may thank Heaven that at the time of the British conquest of India no such Company had a stronghold in China, for otherwise China
would have been conquered too. A British conquest of China in those days
would have been as easy as the conquest of India. Around the year 1860,
China was in the throes of civil strife, and her destiny was absolutely
uncertain. The Manchu Emperor had died during his flight to the North,
and the entire nation was not in a mood to resist foreign invasion. If Gordon
had followed the methods of Clive and used a Chinese army to conquer
China, he would probably have encountered no difficulty.

> How much easier the task would have been with the active support from the mother country!
At that juncture, Portugal and Holland had fallen from power while France
and Germany had not yet gained ascendancy. There was no match for
England in a contest for colonies in the East. Since the Crimean War, in
which Russia was defeated by Turkey with the joint assistance of England
and France, England has capitalized on the mutual enmity between France
and Prussia and endeavored to extend her influence in the Orient. Although
the fall of Peking was affected by the joint forces of Britain and France, the
latter had no base of operations in the East. If England, instead of being
content with her trade position, had attempted to conquer China, no country
would have been able to intervene effectively. If England could have
managed within a space of ten years to grab the whole of China, all Asia
would have fallen under British control, for during that period France had
just been defeated by Prussia and the German Empire was still in its
infancy. Had this been the case, Great Britain would not only have retained
its firm grasp on India, but would also have been able to combine the
territories of China and India into one, and secured an impregnable position

I really recommend reading the whole essay. It's called "The Vital Problem With China"

He nails British diplomacy

"The secret of the British success in maintaining such a vast empire
is to be found primarily in the traditional foreign policy of Britain. Since
England's defeat of Spain's Invincible Armada, she has been pursuing a
fixed foreign policy, that is, the policy of rallying the weaker countries to
crush the strongest.


In the latter half of the 18th century, England's policy was directed
against France, simply because France in the reigns of Louis XIV and
Louis XV, was the strongest country in Europe; not because England
wanted to redress any possible wrongs suffered by her in the Hundred-
Year's War, nor because England had any territorial ambitions in Europe. In
order to maintain her own interests England cannot allow any country on
the European Continent to grow too strong, and when any country grows
too strong, she must get all the other countries to join her in overthrow-ing
that country.

>the policy of rallying the weaker countries to
crush the strongest

So the eternal anglo meme is just butthurt by other countries because we made sure they never got large enough to challenge us?

Success breeds jealousy
>>
>>66561579

Even if that had happened we would still have lost it. We should have federated and made Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa British. No country can rule foreign lands forever but these countries considered themselves British and the people were mostly British. You guys getting independence was a mistake.

I you wanted to make a "if it wasn't for us you'd ...." you could simply talk about the Greek revolution against the Ottomans in 1821 or most of the stuff that happened until the 1920s.
