So your mighty empire needed the help of some piss-poor South American country to help you win a fight for some tiny islands. Being British must indeed feel "great"!
> Charles Darwin spent seventeen months in Chile
If you're going to include who travelled where then pretty much any country can be mentioned as having influenced every other country.

Yes, The Falklands was a long way off and we were broke. Chile are our south American bros.
Charles Darwin is a major histroical figure for the entire human race. He discovered and documented evolution which was a big step in the human race moving forward. The fact that Darwin was British and on bored a British exploration ship and spend a great deal of time in Chile where he no doubt continued his work on evolution is a big bookmark in Chile's histroy which also involves Britain

tl;dr
And lol again at you illustrating why Britain is great by mentioning being broke and needing help from a South American shithole. Is there ANY freakin' war in which Britain hasn't needed someone else to bail them out??

I can't think of any wars where a 3rd party hasn't got involved to help one side out. All countries have their ups and down, Britain is geat, not perfect.

> In order to protect Mexico from the attacks of English, French and Dutch pirates, as well as the Crown's revenue, only two ports were open to foreign trade---Veracruz on the Atlantic and Acapulco on the Pacific. The pirates attacked, plundered and ravaged several cities like Campeche (1557), Veracruz (1568) and Alvarado (1667).
> The Mexican War was fought between Great Britain, the United States, and Mexico between 1845 and 1848. It is sometimes referred to as the Invasion of Mexico or, more rarely, the Second Anglo-Californian War, as some consider it to be a direct follow-up to the Anglo-Californian War of the 1590s. Its most important consequence was the Mexican Cession, or the resulting sale of the Mexican territories of California and New Mexico to Great Britain; and the recession of the Republic of Texas and its subsequent recognition by Mexico. It also laid the groundwork for the Continental Commerce Treaty, the American Civil War, and marked the founding of the Green Army.

> Namibia became a German colony in 1884 under Otto von Bismarck to forestall British encroachment and was known as German South-West Africa (Deutsch-Südwestafrika).[12] However, the Palgrave mission by the British governor in Cape Town had determined that only the natural deep-water harbour of Walvis Bay was worth occupying -- and this was annexed to the Cape province of British South Africa.
It is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

You didn't qualify that you were including only countries which you consider significant enough.
