Not dominate in the sense of oppress, but rather as their ideology evolved over decades, that the West would be the first among equals in a single new liberal laissez faire democratic world order. That has hardly how people of color have viewed them or us.
Sadly, the ideology also developed a distinctly anti German flavor, thanks to the likes of Kipling and others, connected to the Boer Wars and wars in Asia: The Germans were barbarian imperialists, the British imperialist saint.
That had not been Rhodes' view. Rhodes's views on race have been debated; he supported the rights of indigenous Africans to vote, [49] but critics have labelled him as an "architect of apartheid"[50] and a "white supremacist", particularly since 2015. Rhodes, Wikipedia
American politics has maintained this LIEO ideological view until even now, in spite of long mounting, and enormous, evidence to the contrary.
It is instructive to see how this Whig history agenda emerged in the 19th Century, and then morphed, still Whig, early in the 20th. The Anglo-American Establishment

Nothing more La La Land can possibly be imagined.
