I wonder if the British of the early 19th century predicted that this is how it would turn out when they decided not to press their advantage after the war of 1812 in favor of detente w the young United States
I think if they could have seen into the future they would have noted that their descendents are all rich, and that the anglo empire has continued into the 21st century, although with its capital in a different place, and said "carry on"
