and dutch
they both commited the same atrocities
I would say the spanish might have done more
The Hudson Bay co and the NW co were state run monopolies. If you lived in Canada, you worked for "the Company" and bought your goods from "the company"
Well no different that East India Company lol
spanish empire didnt live long enough to do more
True, but small differences
spanish empire destroyed 2 cuvilizations
yeah and the british didnt?
and decimated a third
native americans middle easterns south asians
All of them are still aroubd
India was better off British
The difference between British and Spanish colonisation is that there are still native American tribes in America. You don't see too many South Americans still throwing glass spears at one another and eating hearts for blood gods.
and america did worse to the natives than the brits
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki They were on our land, bucko
you know
Oh no im not condemning the americans
unlike the british
Im just not blaming the brits for what americans did
lets be honest
what abiut the mayans and incas?
I wouldn't disagree
they terrorized south america
sacrificing thousands a day
The aztecs were monsters.
The 'noble savage' is a myth. The natives were better off American or Canadian
Point being the Spanish gave far fewer fucks than the brits about natives.
or the french for that matter
most of those civilizations were wiped out by disease
and the french used them as shields
Well they're the French.
cant really credit the spanish for enslaving a few thousand
when a million more were killed by the pox
the british understood this and used that against the native north americans
giving them infected blankets and such
that was americans not brits
we were free before that
Disregarding disease though. The Spanish were far more murdery than we were.
That's actually an urban myth
