Imagine all these country’s have trash that is worthless.
Some British guy comes along and says I “hey see that over there can I buy it?” “What that trash?” “Yes” “Sure thing dipshit”
Then instead of being destroyed like everything else it gains value and then they want it back.
Yea sure I also want my dads apple shares he sold in 1985 because I didn’t realise they would be valuable in the future when he sold them.
Most of the stuff was bought.
But even the conquest shit. People have been conquesting each other for ever. Suddenly you want to take stuff back of one country that just happened to be good at it in the days when everyone agreed that was how the world worked.

“We shouldn’t do the right thing because neither did our ancestors.”
The British bought it. It’s ours. That’s how ownership works.
It’s not up to the British to parent the world. They made their choice.
It wouldn’t exist in the present if the British hadn’t bought it and looked after it.
