On which money? If Britain retreated from colonies, it would basically have no sources of income left. Britain wealth was made on industry and trade; Martians knocked domestic industry down hard. Colonies - especially India - are basically the only source of income Britain have left post-invasion.Nah. Wells specifically stated, that Earth technology was incapable of repeating Martian technology, even having working samples. They have no clues how to produce any of materials Martians used, the tentacle-drives were enigma, and "secret researches" of heat ray emitters ended with major explosions in laboratories. Only flying machine gave some insights - seemingly mainly in aerodynamic.So, the investigation of Martian tech would inevitably turns into area of fundamental, not applied science. And therefore it would be more or less known to every nation in the world. Britain would not have much advantage here.
