There is no justification in saying that 'we prevented them from being invaded by other empire building invaders'

These occupied Countries did retain their own cultures but some of their citizens chose to come round to the British way of their own choice. Those Countries that had no desire rose up & fought back.
You disagree, that is your choice & right because we live in a Country that allows you these freedoms. So I would say that answers your point :-
Who are we to decide that 'our way is best'. As it gives you those liberties.
In recent history two names spring very much to the forefront when we talk World domination, Napoleon & Hitler. Now if we British hadn't stood tall with the assistance of our allies in these instances the world would've been speaking French or German, take your pick ! So in those instances I do believe we prevented these not so pleasant (as us Brits) invaders from colonizing our foreign partners.
