The majority of countries that made up the British Empire are now doing very well.

There are however a number of countries that for a while under British rule produced billions and had relative peace. That plunged themselves into debt, poverty for most and wars. Once the British left.

This can be said for other countries around the world as Europeans spread their influence.
