On what grounds would you say that pre-colonial countries 'belonged' to the population anyway, in a popular sense?
In many cases the British just replaced or made subservient an existing local elite. In some cases these local elities were not even indigenous (Moguls in India for example).
So it was just a swap of one elite for another.

I think this thread has run it's course.
It's gone way off topic (despite attempts to 'clean it up'), to the point I truthfully wouldn't even know where to start getting it back to the original discussion. So with regret, here comes the lock.
If anyone actually wants to discuss the original topic, feel free to start a new thread. One which doesn't throw insults about, and one that stays on track.
