Britain collected a lot of fripperies for a comparatively short time by playing off other peer powers one against another, but wasn't even close to being in the same league as the really dominant empires in history.
Well to compare civilizations to great Britain you need to consider which other civilizations owned as much territory as Britain, ruled over as many people, made as many important advances in technology, won as many wars, is still a stable country now, how many people speak english in the world today and so on. All this taking into consideration the size of Great Britain.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
