I know life under British rule was not all that great, but it was a lot better than living under French Colonial rule or Spanish Colonial Rule..

Or under local rule. The various Princes, Sheiks, Emirs or Maharajas of the Mid-East and India also in many cases accepted British rule or protectorship because it was a much better alternative to the local strong-man and their brutal ways.
