You both must be fun at parties. Of fucking course it is not every european nations but it is way shorter than to write Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Italy...
Nobody would ever say "Asian" when referring to the south east Asians powers though. Call it European colonial powers or something. It gets tiresome being lumped in with destruction caused by Britain, France, etc... when your own nation was nothing but potato farmers at the time.
“European maritime empires”
You’re welcome.
I don't go to parties where complete strangers ask me to pay them reparations for what other complete strangers that lived 500 years ago did to some other complete strangers that have no relationship to the strangers at the party.
That's an awfully smug way to say "I don't know about generational poverty".
I did my part!! No desert was the alternative....
