The Spanish Empire NEEDED to marry locals because, you know, it was the 15th/16th century, not the ideal time to populate a continent

yea

They weren't sending many women to the Americas, it was like 90% men

ya

I need to learn more about south American. But way to lazy

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that "envy" has played a role when it comes to talking about how Spain handled the Americas - They took A LOT of resources, that one is true, but the whole "mass murdering" doesn't really add up

yea it doesn't add up but it's from assumptions based on when christopher colombus went to the Americas

Ofc colonization cost alot

More than its worth

fax

Also, Spain did a lot of good - From universities to then-modern medicine and they stopped a bunch of HORRENDOUS cultures

Same as uk

<:ultrasmug:624684793199722498>

not all cultures were horrendous

They're still discovering new places where the locals just "stored" thousands of skulls

Most of them was back then

sure most of them were the worst of em probably being the Aztecs

India was bad

Instead of making Arcs de Triomph, motherfuckers would build walls made of hundreds/thousands corpses

They burn girls alive

But British stopped that

~~even though they probably do the same shit and much worse today~~

tbh india is fucked lmao

Everything okay in here?

Ya

Something tells me this wasn't a spiritual thing... <:thinkpepe:624684793388466186>

We planning are colonization of USA @wsa

obviously spiritual

@druiz never know. People was like that

you get contacted by allah himself for murdering people

no joke

African eat babies alive for spiritual reasons. India burned girls alive for spiritual reasons

This one might've been somewhat-spiritual (it's organized, y'know) but some just look like an Arc de Triomph but made of the corpses of the people you defeated

most of the time they were just trophies

Tbh world are just lucky Christians got big first

and a show of strength

Christianity is basically off brand Judaism but exactly the same thing

If it was anything ofter then everywhere would be like that

depends on the religion

The World almost became mostly-Muslim though

the 3 monotheistic religions are basically the same

You can thank Charlemagne and the north of present-day Spain for stopping that in the 8th century

only slight differences

hhhh

I'd rather thank Swedish king Carolus Rex

But of everyone

Bit

si

Talking about Spain, the Muslims and all - Here's a genetic map of Spain that proves how Spaniards are all the sons of the ones who reconquered the land

Almost 0 mixing back then

Wait 8th century

tbh the world could've also been off better without Christianity

The colors (genetic subgroups) follow the 5 routes of the Reconquista (Galicia, León, Burgos, Aragón and Cataluña)

You see the news about 3 years ago about the Muslim leader or whoever trying to them trying to get Spain to say sorry for kicking Muslims out in 2nd crusade

@Admiralty Kyoa no Muslims would of taken over

yea but one of the worst wars happened because of it

ISIS has threatened Spain often due to the Reconquista

The Thirty Years war

and other wars

The one big terrorist attempt by Al-Qaeda in Spain (March 11th) was probably in part due to the Reconquista - Muslims have NEVER gotten over it

basically every war back then was caused by religion and colonization

People had to defend there homeland back then.

They won it, they had it, they lost it and there was basically 0 race mixing

they didn't have to defend themselves because the Protestants split from the Catholics

in a catholic held area

But hate saying this but war can be good

Very good

Look at eu

EU? more like nazi germany 2.0

All them country all fighting each ofter forced them to get better

Mean Europe

Not eu

h

I've always disliked how some "empires" have stayed while others were forced to split

Fuck right off, Italy and Germany are as unnatural as Yugoslavia!

Even in world wars. The technology we build was just to defend and fight

most empires crumbled because of themselves

All empires full. Even mine <:GWfateeNeroCry:393461905265786880>

We will get hold of it all again
