I do agree that invading other countries is morally wrong but you must also think what would have happened to the world if we hadn't invaded them. They would have been subjected, instead, to Spanish aggression which left the Aztec and Inca civilisations all but destroyed.
It's all well and good looking at history through modern eyes but you must also keep in mind the realities of the time. Learn from mistakes and misadventures but refrain from judging unless you are completely sure you can be fair in doing so.
I would argue that on the whole the British Empire was a force for good in the world, not evil.
