If you want to think that the British empire was never that powerful that's fine I just find your opinions ridiculous and funny.
It really wasn't, compared to the likes of Rome. We have short memories and are likely to be particularly impressed by things that we remember and feel comfortable being impressed by, this is why Britian seemed like she was so great.
She was a great power, was even for a while (about 75 years or so, between 1815 and 1890) the leading power, but she was never a superpower comparable to the US between 1945 and now.
And even the US was, and is no longer, as dominant as Rome for only about 10 years, between 1991 - 2001. Rome was continuously as dominant as we were at our very zenith for 450 years.
