Grayson Harris
>American Colonial empire
Julian Edwards
>implying the US engaged in colonialism >leaving out Germany
Easton Bennett
>9) >implying we didn't invest in the colonies The only reason Angola, etc. are shit today is because the KGB-funded revolution of (((liberation))) destroyed anything whitey had built there.
Jason Turner
ottoman empire was not a colonial one conquering =/= colonizing
Carson Wood
Philippines, Guam, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Liberia, and Various islands in the pacific. Learn your own history yank.
Aiden Miller
I'm not him, but a lot of Americans don't consider it imperialism or colonialism. That's probably what he meant.
Samuel Torres
>all of which, excluding Liberia are/were unorganized territories You obviously know nothing of the law regarding this in America, or you'd understand that they are in no way a colony.
Also Liberia was just founded by America, they had full sovereignty however. Similar to San Marino in Europe

Spain was Rome 2.0 Tbvh, except maybe in the religious part.
Blake Jenkins
Look, I love Rome, but the territories of the Spanish Empire were far better than the colonies of the Roman Empire, they just so happened to fuck up really badly after that.
Carter Gutierrez
9) place? we were the first global empire and the last to fall. just going to the facts. btw it's good that the age of the empires is over...we should protect our nations, blood and soil.

70% of the british empire is shit and the rest has become good when they left and thanks to the huge resources and immigration from other countries
