I know Britain was hurting at the end of WWII. But at the same time, she had the opportunity to be bigger than ever. ALL of her competitors were either defeated or in much worse shape than she was. Britain could have had all of Germany's holdings, all of italy's holdings, most of africa, the middle east, large parts of assia, and many many other places where either the former colonial powers went away or where the local governments were much to weak to prevent a British takeover from happening. Also could have vastly derailed other European countries who could have posed a challenge from recovering from the war. Do you agree with me, or am I flat out wrong!!!
