Not exactly. The British introduced western concepts to the backward. The
concept of the rule of law, majority rule, capitalism, and more.

These lessons took root and grew in such places as India and Indonesia.
Sadly, in spite of more than fifty years of experiencing these lessons first
hand, the Muslim countries never really absorbed it.

Compare India and Pakistan. Both were ruled by the British, as India, until
1948. Today, India is the largest democracy on the planet and Pakistan is a
third-world piece of junk. Other places the British ruled include Jordan,
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and more. All junk.
