Look, just because Portugal and Spain fumbled the bag doesn't mean they aren't colonizers.
the more i hear of this hitler guy the more and more of a dipshit he seems to have been
The Nazis' real crime was doing to Europe what the rest of Europe did to the rest of the world. How dare you do that right here!
It truly is the libertarian country in both the best (drug decriminalization, got nothing else) and worst ways
I'm guessing the meme was made by an American. Dutch influence isn't as strong in the US as it is in the Caribbean. Also some Americans weirdly view the Portuguese and Spanish as "white-passing" poc.
Stop treating Scotland like one of England’s victims and not a willing partner
Letting Scotland off while getting rid of Wales is also very strange behaviour. But that is just yanks.
The thing I have trouble understanding is what makes Italy worse than a plethora of coubtries still there. Columbus I guess, but he was being bankrolled by Spain.
Libya and Ethiopia I'm guessing
Edit: in reference to why Italy was removed
Portugal and Spain fumbled the bag
looks at South America
Yeah, what a complete failure with the whole colonising thing
They fumbled the bag in terms of not becoming as rich and industrialized as France, UK, Netherlands, and so on
Look, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. This is a good start
Hell if we're doing this. Why aren't Scotland considered guilty for the British empire. The Scottish composed a disproportionate part of the British army. And Scotland joined the union for access to the slave trade
because it was made by an american whose only understanding of anything is through memes. you can tell by the fact that england and wales are both removed but scotland isn't. it's not because they're super woke and recognise wales's role in the british empire - otherwise scotland wouldn't be left alone. it's because they don't even know wales exists. same reason spain and the netherlands aren't removed. no actual historical understanding just pure vibes.
Centrist compromise, destroy the western half if Germany
:GDR:
I've daydreamed about an alt history where Germany was replaced entirely with a shallow sea, maybe 4 meters average depth, and with lots of archipelagos scattered through out, kind of like a north Europe Mediterranean.
This but an extremely shallow sea and you get Germans walking around in ankle-deep water at all times.
