British Empire (1783-1997) - Atrocities of British Empire

[EL_BARBARO]

It's so difficult for you to make a normal conversation? Is this related with the legacy of Spaniards?

Believe me, it would be quite difficult to hold a "normal conversation" with somebody stating such "abnormal" statements.

Despite longing to do it, I myself have even thrown the toal beforehand.

Yep, and btw, let's not forget all historical/archaeological monuments which they stole from Greece, from Ancient Greek period, which is now part of British museum .

Altough my greek heart wants them back, I think they are of a greater service to Greece/ greek culture when exhibited in Louvre and the British Museum, considering the visitors´ numbers. They are also more secure there.

You should have in mind that those who you call despectively "Iberbers" helped --and how-- to make your current country --the USA-- independent from the former British Empire, since those british colonies in North America were in war --what you call usually American "Revolution" with such an empire and they had no weapons, no powder, no war ships, no money, not even clothes nor shoes...

Those who you call despectively "Iberbers" --among them a paisano of mine, Bernardo de Galvez, made possible that the country where you live and known as the USA became an independent country.

Moreover, those who you call despectively "Iberbers" offered and gave their own lives to help your founder fathers in numerous battles against your enemies, those who you call despectively "Iberbers" used their warships to block your enemies in the sea avoiding the sending of many troops against your founder fathers, and those who you call despectively "Iberbers" gave your founder fathers all kind of supplies that they needed to fight them, besides your first loan in the History, a huge amount of money in gold --cause your founder fathers were poorer than a rat then--, that, by the way, you have never given back... and those who you call despectively "Iberbers" never have claimed nor forced to...

It's very easy to make "revolutions" but, as seen, it is still easier to forget how was possible to win those "revolutions".

Please, you're welcome.

Thank you

Regarding racial segregation in the USA, at one point as many as 33 states banned inter-racial marriage, so it wasn't entirely confined to just the Deep South.

How does it feel to know these people are referred to as "Spanish" in our country?

How does it feel to know these people are referred to as "Americans" in our country?

Because you're ignorant of American culture and history.

You calling these Mexicans "Spanish"... and am I the ignorant??

Those Mexicans and other south americans are YOUR bastard children btw.

But if you have Native American blood in your veins, retard you are as bastard as them
Plus you are Roma-nian, gitana

I'm proud our empire fucked Spain into the ground,

What??? you would wish
Spanish empire started in America before than British and lasted longer, you are so ignorante that hurts
In fact British empire lost the Thirteen Colonies thanks France... and Spain

No, i am not trolling. The problem is that you don't want to accept facts. Just compare your country with Great Britan. End of the story.

I do. And what do I see? that hundreds of thousands of British come to live to Spain.

About the second point. It's absolutely true that the Age of Discoveries started exactly because Ottomans controlled Silk Road.

And it is absolutely true that Spaniards defeated Ottomans in their own territory, first Almogavars at the start of the XIV century in the same Anatolia and later
in Lepanto, etc

The UK ruled 25% of the entire globe.

This is the biggest lie of the British propaganda about its empire... The British rule of a lot of its territories lasted just 15 years, 25 years...

Today, English is the world's lingua franca?

Still less spoken than Spanish.

America is a product of the empire.

Half of America (I will take USA as America) was achieved once they independized of GB, and with an important role of non-British people.

But the discussion is about the legacy.

The Spanish goals of our empire were:
-spreading Catholicism. Achieved.
-spreading our language. Achieved.
- gold, silver and other resources to fight against Ottomans and Protestants. Achieved. And that is why still there are Catholics in Central Europe and could stop the Ottomans in Rumelia and East Mediterranean.
-obtaining the Asian spices and such. Achieved.

Anglophone colonies are some of the most successful with the highest standards of living.

Sure. Kenia, India, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Egypt etc etc agree.
Oh wait, what a curiousity!! the countries where the British population/immigration was a minority, are pure shitholes

Clearly , exterminating the natives and replacing them is a lot more effective than breeding with them (ala Spaniards , French, Portuguese, etc )

This is more British propaganda. I have posted tons of news, links and sources showing that the second part (British not mixing with natives, Hindues etc) is false as fuck.
You have to analyze one thing, if the British mix was minor just was because the proportion between them and the indigenous people was very big, due the extermination of the later, and the incredible amount of British that emigrated to America. And still they mixed.

For last, take a look on USA or Canada currently. Racial mix happens 24/7 since some decades ago and growning

Man, 5 millions killed? by the sword, the riffle or the cannon? Those spaniards must have created 3 shifts per day --8 hours each one-- to kill so many people!

And by inquisition as well? Man, I'm trying to imagine those priests killing 5 million people and I can't avoid a laughter, with their sleeves dropping blood and devastating the forests to get that tremendous amount of wood to burn such a huge amount of people!

According experts, historians etc there were around 40 millions of people in the time that Spaniards arrived to America. I mean entire America, since Alaska until Tierra del Fuego.
Just saying.

Brazil is a third world country, no comparison with the USA.

Brazil is richer than all the Balkan countries together.

Though USA is slowly heading to become like Brazil.

That is the point. As I have pointed already, USA just exists since 200 years ago unlike Brazil, Mexico etc who do since 500.
Wait another 300 years and there will not be differences between any American country.

They are Americans,
Unlike you I'm not extremely insecure about my whiteness and I have nothing to prove.
You keep getting more retarded as time goes by.

Thankfully Anglo genes weren't spread in the places they conquered. Except possibly in colonial America, Canada, Persia and Africa.

You'd be lucky to have our genes.
Maybe India wouldn't be the literal shithole it is today.

India is poor, but very proud and unique.
