By invading them, that's what the Brits did well. The best you
can argue is that all the places invaded and run by the Brits
they kept law and order and local tribes from killing each other,
therefore providing the environment for prosperity.

Including the Scotchmen

I certainly felt that in Hong Kong, when they find out you are British
they either love you for providing the environment for prosperity,
or they hate and blame you for the boxer rising downwards
There's no in-between.
