Is there a way to get a later colonial world (i.e. 1800s) where Britain and France are two of the primary colonisers, but not the best ones? I thought an early Germany could knock France out of the race pretty early on, but I haven't been able to come up with a good way to weaken Britain's resolve. I thought perhaps a major Irish uprising could cause their focus to shift from external expansion to domestic affairs, allowing other powers to come in and fill the blank spots, so to speak.

Or if one of the major Indian states resists colonisation? As usual, I'd prefer European powers. I can imagine a much stronger Spain could be a bigger coloniser.
