The tone of your comment was unnecessarily sarcastic and confrontational.

Or just pointing out his / her opinion. Words like "bold claim" and "if I recall correctly" are hardly sarcastic or confrontational.

making absurd statements that generalizes countries based on another country's company deserves confrontation. What does Sweden have to do with a British company? seems very culturally insensitive

Sweden did have an east India company. The Chalmers university was funded by a English man called Chalmers who made his fortune in the East India company.

As with mass migration to the US, British colonization did enrich much of western/Northern Europe and opened up a world of opportunities.
