A lot of Sup Forums will consist of former British colonies, or one's at least under the influence of Britain at some stage.
It's a given that the Anglo countries in the commonwealth benefitted from British colonization, but I'm wondering about the Asian, African, American and Caribbean Colonies. Did they leave a good legacy, or were they bad colonizers?
Bump
Kept their churches well-stocked with pretty valuables
Pay reparations white boi
yes, they keep sending new Pokemons
Of course they benefited.
All of those nigger countries were literally better off under British control than they are as independent nations. They were given every advantage to be prosperous independent nations, most fucked it all up and neglected what Britain gave them
overall japan-brit relationship hasn't been bad except during ww2
>Honduras
This sounds interesting eternal Angl*
Japan is making a videogame about the first western Samurai and advisor to the shogun William Adams. I read he's honoured with a ceremony in Japan once a year.
while we were not directly colonized by the UK most of our economy was developed by British investment in Chile during the colonization of NZ and Australia, had it not been for the development and eventual immigration caused by this we would have probably been annexed at this point.
Our founding father was also an Irish man (part of the UK at the time) and studied in the UK.
Nah they sabre-rattled and declared titular war on us in ww2.
They wanted to declare war on us but knew they'd get their asses kicked, just like the Germans and Russians.
The UK supported us against the French during the Pastry War and we secretly supported them during the Falklands occupy, pretty devilish.
How strong army did Sweden have ww2 btw? I have no clue other than the volunteers wh came here in ww2.
We love 'em. Except Quebec but they hate everyone.
ive always like you mexico bros 4 lyfe
Sweden had no army, it was dissolved a few years prior. That's why we couldn't participate. There was an army built up in secret which didn't have time to deploy but was used during the cold war instead.
You're not Danish or Norwegian
They unified India (before the partition). Ended backwards cultural practices like widow burning. Gave them a common language. Connected them by building lots of railroads. Gave them a better legal system.
The British have only brought good fortune to the lands they've touched
everything
literally nothing
except the english language, I guess
They took over South-Africa, filled the place with Sub-Saharan Africans (niggers) and genocided the white Dutch population. After that they abolished the Dutch language and made English and other African languages offficial. That's why South-Africans (Afrikaners) are just a tiny minority in their overpopulated country right now.
Oh, that's not really that great, right?
By that logic, you're nothing. Just nothing.
They lost the battle with a far smaller force of Japanese soldiers on bicycles so we got to spend some sexy rape time with Japan.
Thats complete nonsense bullshit.
they lost the war for you though
literally died for you
Well, check the history of South-Africa and you'll discover it yourself.
The British done everything for my country
WE
Boer camps were not a genocide, Afrikans was made an official language in 1925.
You part about blacks made no sense. Afrikaner and boers took on slaves and boers left the cape because one reason they refused to ditch slavery. The official language of the union of South Africa was dutch aND English. Not one fucking moment in colonial times was an African language given official status.
The Japs made it, not Brits.
Wait up until 1925 it was dutch and English then Afrikans subsumed dutch.
Nothing happened though, apparently we just sat in Helsinki and bantered
Indeed. We wouldn't exist if it wasnt for Britain.
Eh, they tried to liberate us several times.
There were always huge populations of niggers in SA apart from the Cape. The Dutch abandoned their colonies and couldn't give a shit about the colonists they dumped in South Africa. Britain put us on the map, industrialised us and turned us into the most advanced African country
Actually, South Africa has more native Afrikaans speakers than native English speakers.
Not him, but the British took South Africa when the Netherlands was occupied by France.
When that happened, there were no plans to bring those Dutch colonists back to the Netherlands. They had to stay and serve under British rule or flee into the interior and form their own nation states
Swedish Vikings raided the British Isles too.
Learn 2 history faggot!
Yeh, We dropped some planes and attacked carriers close to murmans tho. That's as heavy as it gets. Always liked britbongs tho.
Nope, the Viking raiders that attacked England/Scotland and later Ireland all came from what is now contemporary Denmark or Norway. Swedes were merchants.
If you were colonised by the Spanish you would be another Mexico, not an extension of British civilisation like Canada. I believe that is a very big improvement, desu.
I'm pretty sure you guys aren't a priority when our homeland is at stake.
Swedes created russia
Same happened in WW2 by the way. When the Germans occupied the Netherlands the Japanese attacked Indonesia.
You're thinking about modern geography. Since there were no national borders and everyone spoke roughly the same language Swedes went to Norway as much as Scanians went to Copenhagen.
Absolutely not. They never did anything for us, and we had to save their asses like 12039 times from Spain invading them.
>colonization
>colonizers
WEW
Why are the Dutch so bad at colonies?
They are a small country
Give them credit where credit is due
And in comparison with France they are god tier
every country is god-tier compared to fr*nce in every way
this guy is right
No
They occupied us in 1917 and installed monstrous communist regime
They fucked not only us: North Korea - english occupation zone; South Korea - american occupation zone.
>Britain put us on the map, industrialised us and turned us into the most advanced African country
anglo pls go, the discovery gold abd diamond did that. Those foreign investors were from everywhere.
>It's a given that the Anglo countries in the commonwealth benefitted from British colonization
You didn't even need to have been colonised by the Brits, the Industrial Revolution helped everyone.
no, only some buildings, they made sure we cant grow in terms of economy, culturally and military for the last 200 years
This
If it weren't for the Brits all of Europe would still be a wood shack shit hole, especially Scandinavia.
ooga booga it's all da anglo man's fault
I realize I'm thinking in terms of modern geography. You can claim to be one people but the places of Scandinavia where raiders actually came from are is considered to be mainly from the contemporary geographical locations of Denmark and also Norway. Not Sweden.
If you think Britain has had some meaningful impact on your country's ability to grow after WW1 you don't know shit son.
Your politicians use los malmemes to dupe your people into forgetting about your real problems
Bastard heathen Danes.
That's because everyone looking to raid traveled there first. What kind of idiot would launch a raid of Western Europe from the eastern Baltic Sea?
>Afrikaner and boers took on slaves and boers left the cape because one reason they refused to ditch slavery.

They were Danish or Norwegians;) The people who stayed and lived in the settlements where you live were the runts of Scandinavia. Hence modern Swedes.
You mean, aside from conquering the roman empire and then raiding western europe for centuries we also founded Russia and defended Constantinople? All while your ancestors - Oh wait, you don't have any.
My ancestors, sailed the Atlantic and tamed the wilds of North America, Squaw, and Frenchmen. Yours traded while the people who live in Denmark and Norway did cool things.
Nope, the geographical location of Canada has no ancestry. It was just wasteland. You're nothing.
No.
