I dont think empires self correct
Of course you don't.
Name one
An empire's continued existence over time is itself evidence that it's made proper self-corrections. Empires end when they have not.

The British realized after losing their American colonies that they had to do things differently. Doesn't mean they became sweet or swell guys.Disagree

None of the 3 guys i searched said it self corrected
Name the countries that fought the British and won their independence outside of the U.S. and Ireland? There were independence movements. Most famous was Ghandi in India. But the independence of those countries came about through negotiations and orderly withdrawal of the British. I know you want to hate them but they did self correct. Went from controlling to cooperation. Most of those former colonies are still in the British Commonwealth and recognize the British monarch as their head of state.There was anti colonial movements, ww2, economic probs, new powerful countries

Ppl recognizing the king as head of state should make you question economic, political, and rel8gious systems we have supported over time including capitalism
But they still do and the British did exactly what you claimed empires don't do. They self corrected.The brits ran out of money and were replaced by the us empire amongst other things i mentioned

No they were an empire until they couldnt do it anymore. They didnt self correct and become moralBut they still do and the British did exactly what you claimed empires don't do. They self corrected.
Define moral? They didn't just turn all their colonies onto independent countries at once because they couldn't afford them anymore. Countries became independent over decades. What you want to say is they were evil white men, etc but they were no more evil than anyone else and in many ways the British were fairer in how they ruled than other colonial powers.No they were an empire until they couldnt do it anymore. They didnt self correct and become moral
