Yeah, still most British / Dutch / Portuguese that I met at least knows their country's dark history.
The one who didn't was from Japan.
Most Japanese youngsters weren't aware of the Japanese invasion of Indonesia, since the government has erased some of their dark history from school's teaching.
The British Empire was... something.
It was like what the Phoenicians did, trade routes and colonies... then it became twisted, bloody and underhanded along the way it went a bit Roman Empire. I know all countries, especially Indonesia, suffered quite a bit, but I think Africa and China had it worse (probably wrong, I only have rough knowledge on the British Empire history.)
I mean, the Natural History Museum in London has a lot of treasures they've taken during the British Empire. Some countries have asked for their stuff back, the museum's answer is "We're not done looking at it."
China used to have a monopoly on Britain over resources, engineering, transportation, silk and chinese tea. I think there was also the expenses importing it over to Britain. So they turned it around by introducing opium to the country. They used actual addiction to cripple them in debt to keep the tea going.
But you gotta admit, while not without bloodshed, the British Empire didn't need a global war to establish itself. If anything it was World War 1 and 2 that ended the British Empire given Britain suddenly grew a consciolus and wanted to help other countries than just move into them like an unwelcomed uncle.

The last game of the franchise was released in 2008, so this sequel could be considered as revival.
Do you mean what I've been called the "Sega Renaissance" Such as Alex Kidd, Streets of Rage 4, House of the Dead and the other new remakes?
