CJ,
Britain ruled the oceans until technology killed their empire. The development of battleships from ships of the line over the span of less than a century drove them to the edge of bankruptcy.
Yes but by then, Great Britain already emerged as the winner in the Age of Colonialism.

Something that Japan figured out the hard way when they were late to the game of imperialism.
