Colonialism only benefited metropolitan elites not ordinary Europeans or the country as a whole.The whole situation with Europe shows that colonialism, like slavery, was a mistake to give up. No matter what, they will never thank you, they will never forgive you, and will be a constant source of pain until your descendants are completely destroyed.
This is partly because white people forgot that the history of the world has generally been of the "kill or be killed" variety.
There were very few colonies that enriched the home nation, but everyone paid the admin and military cost for holding even the worst of them.
It was basically fomo at best and privatising profits, socialising losses at worse.
