For the sake of discussion you'd have been better off asking whether there had been any benefits of the British Empire for other countries.

Yes, the British empire has benefited most of the world. It brought infrastructure among other things, including, let's face it, civilization itself.

Aye. Civilising the savages and bringing the word of Our Lord to the unwashed masses. I don't know why people are so anti-imperialist here. I mean, we gave these people the best railway system in the world and they're still eating with bits of wood. It wouldn't hurt them to thank us once in a while. If it wasn't for the British Empire they'd still be living in mud huts and wearing animal skins - the ungrateful little sods. Go figure.
