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?

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
