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

before that they raped them

~~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

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?
