Back then there was alot of bad shit around
The Spaniards would've created some sort of "hot Amerindian bitches" or whatever, the Brits would've created a bunch of smarter angry natives with access to guns
You don't kill them, you fuck them into submission
Like look at India. They needed a big push in right away
Same as Africa
@druiz it wouldn't make a difference
But we did try and let them keep there ways
Without communism, South America would be fucking MINT nowadays
<:wrong:624684284862529556>
They got universities in like the 16th/17th century
Without Woodrow Wilson being president*
Oh south American
Maybe
South America is a nice example of how to do colonialism: you get there, you fuck them... and then you keep sure there's no communism around because that's how it went bad
British loved making universitys everywhere. Idk much about what happened in South America
the spaniards didn't fuck them they raped them
@Admiralty Kyoa - Not that much, there was A LOT of interracial marriage over 400 years before it became common in the USA
The Spanish Empire founded like 12-14 universities in the Americas BEFORE the now-USA got its first
All ik about south American is area falklands <:trumpwitchlul:624684793422020624>
yea not that much but that was when the chiefs of the tribes legit traded their daughters for shit
~~christopher colombus moment~~
There is a whole lot of "Black Legend" (that's how we call it here) around the Spanish Empire, even in the 17th century you can find texts from non-Spaniards praising how well the Spaniards were treating the locals back then
yea they treated them well but not everyone did
for example christopher colombus and his crew
his crew was basically criminals he found at a bar
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
