    This was the British Empire, who dominated the Suez Canal and owned South Africa as a puppet. The Scramble for Africa heavily influenced the British to gain a dominate position in Africa. The scramble began because of the Berlin Conference of 1884. However, the French originally owned the Suez, but due to poor funding, was eventually sold to the British.
