While I largely agree that the Isles are pretty clearly based off of Western civilization, If that's what you were taught or concluded, I suggest you get a better class. The idea that the Western powers (even the really nasty ones like the Kasierreichs, Tsarist Russia, etc) "sought only" to exploit foreign countries is a hideous falsehood. The truth's a lot more complicated because you had your shares of well intentioned idealists and misguided fools back then as well, and the sad fact is that if they "sought only to exploit" other nations, things might have been (ironically) less tragic and traumatic in a lot of cases.

If anything, I'd guess the main interaction between the Isles and other civilizations would likely mirror that of the Age of Exploration as well as the Victorian Era. You don't get the kind of religious zeal or contempt in many places by the Victorian era.
