Without a doubt, the British Empire was the most successful empire of the last 500 years. Spain was successful as well, but it didn't last as long and was simply not as dominant as the British one.
The French Empire could be considered a failed empire. Napoleon lost everything for them and it took a great deal to rebuild everything. They failed in Mexico and they failed against Germany in 1870. The French Empire was always tenuous at best.
