Which major European empire did not have to worry about maintaining so many colonies around the world?

A-Germany

B-Russia

C-Great Britain

D-France

B - Russia

Explanation:

Russia, they just couldn't get a bigger empire for multiple reasons, that's they don't care an even bigger empire. They have no port which wasn't frozen and if it wasn't frozen, it would have nations with even more powerful navy's blocking their passageway to the outer world, e. g the Ottoman Empire and the Baltic empires.

• They couldn't expand further in Europe because they wouldn't be able to challenge multiple empires (they weren't that powerful at this time).

• They couldn't expand in Asia because the Qing dynasty is their (modern-day china) and they were apparently the most powerful nation at that period of time.

• Couldn't go to the Middle East because of the ottomans which be too costly of war for both.
