More taxes, more troops, more trade, more slaves, more political power
The British were power hungry and wanted a huge empire so they can rule supreme. They also wanted more land because it would bring more workers, spices, and money.
Britain was part of the Roman Empire from about the year 49 AD until about 410 AD. The Romans called it Britannia.
Because invading Britain would make more slaves and people for the army. Also Britain had many sliver mines in which the Romans could have made money out of. It would add to the Empire and make Rome richer, because England had plenty of farming land in which you could sell livestock, crops and much more.

Britain had the largest empire
Whilst Canada was in the British Empire Britain was burdened with the main responsibility and expense for defending these territories.
Britain was conquered by the Romans. Gaul was conquered at the End of the Gallic Wars (58-50 BC). The conquest of Britain started in 43 AD.
Ancient Rome encountered Britain in 55 and 54 BC BCE when Julius Caesar invaded the island. The invasions were more like expeditions and Caesar came upon armed resistance each time. It is thought that he believed Britons were aiding the Gauls. Britain was not an enemy of the Roman empire until the emperor Claudius had the island invaded and it was added to the empire by Claudius in 43 AD CE. Rome prospered by controlling the wealth of Britain and like many of Rome's provinces there were revolts from time to time.
To compete with the other empire building countries, specifically Germany, Spain and Great Britain, to a lessor extent Japan and France.
