"One side does not want to be helped."
Regarding Britain, (or maybe that should be England) I thing you will find that regarding helping anybody, their policy has always been "let's help oourslves" and that is exactly what they have done - helped themselves - to land, to natural resources, to profits from the labour of the indigenous people.... whatever was at hand to be looted
Of all countries, Ireland, Britain's oldest colony, is aware of the consequences of that predatory policy
