Let's compare Japanese and Chinese history. The Japanese didn't want Europeans to land on their island. They knew about the Dark Ages diseases. The British wanted to conquer Japan, so they began to cannonade cities along the shore. That Japanese relented and sign trade agreements. Japan was also used by the United States so Americans could be the first self-declared nuclear super-power. When the British were attacking Japan, England and other countries attacked China, but China won. That was when the English were saying it was legal for them to attack China and India, so they could trade tea from India for opium from China. The Victorian era in England is known as the opium era. Japan created an international trade war with America, what is the third world war, winning it, China with other Asian nations joined in. I'd be asking will the United States become the next England, a failed empire.

@eawproductions The only reason you can say Britain had a smaller form of empire building is because they used ocean going boats and cannons, not atom bombs. If you were Scottish you wouldn't think the British were moral at all, as government and as a people. It took a British slave trader to write "Amazing Grace". That says it all.
