I'm not sure what in your study of British history lead you to believe that colonized nations under Britain had "minimal violence and corruption" and "safety". That's just not [EDIT: always] true.
Slavery was the core of the British empire in the West Indies and many other areas until it was abolished in the early 1800s. I'm not sure you can claim the safety provided by slavery is valid and without corruption. Slavery is by definition corrupt. No longer able to use slavery to control the population of colonies, Britain opted to smuggle Opium into China (in defiance of Chinese law I might add). This eventually lead to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty. Not exactly the kind of stability you claim the British Empire provided.
Hell, even today the British Empire is responsible for a lot of conflict in the world. Kashmir, Palestine, Sudan? Britain created state boundaries in these areas that ignored the religious and racial distribution of the ethnic populations. You can be sure this mistake is in part responsible for the conflicts we still see today in these areas of the world.
The issue is not as one sided as the picture you painted.
