Now, comes the point of reflection. Imagine, for a moment a whole class of politicians, having grown acustomed to bullying out of sight. Running a global trading empire. What do you think they will do relentlessly to there neighbours and upstart competition. Now imagine how this competition might "over" react, when cut off from vital supplies again and again, when driven into endless proxy wars and similar things, just to keep them "down and fighting".

This is why there was the german prejudice against the "perfid albion", because well the people who run that empire were deeply twisted and evil. The admiration for similar evil, ala hitler was only natural.
