Not true. Cornelia did it to accomplish what she believed to be needed in order to fix the world. She truly believed that Numbers were beneath Britannia and that Britannia had every right to rule the world with an iron fist. Misguided or not, she did everything she did according to her beliefs.

Though I'd say that by the end she no longer followed those beliefs. Euphemia's death shook her up pretty bad... and when Lelouch took control in the way she thought that Britannia should take control, I think she began to see the error of her ways...
