If countries became rich through conquest and subjugation then the Confederacy would have won the civil war, Hitler would have won WWII, the Soviet Union wouldn't have collapsed, and the PRC would have conquered Taiwan.
No, Britain did not get rich from selling opium. They got rich from instituting a capitalist economic system that enabled the invention of the steam engine. You were a side hustle, collateral damage, and an afterthought. Fighting harder wouldn't have solved the problem
