by the time the US is the hegemon, they can't exactly go around and FORCE as many countries to give everything to them like the Brits did
even the US give to the Brits at one point
The British Empire was projecting power onto the world stage in a manner that is now comparable to the US at the time
the us did some minor economic imperialism while england did theirs
but it was mostly local
More so actually because of China
they did it in the carribean
and they did it in japan
The issue is we see the way the US projects power but their model is just the British empires but toned down
then of course the spanish american war goes off
so that means the capacity of the US is a MUCH higher concentration because what they gained was through trade rather than conquest
The US secured the entirety of South America and the new world they just didn't do anything with it imao
and all of a sudden the us has colonies and economic enclaves
The British empire projected so much power it was thinly spread against a truly powerful opponent
nah, the US might project power but countries that are our allies, were YOUR slaves
Which makes sense because the US wasn't in a secure situation internally to look outwards at the time
the only reason why mexico isnt ruled by the french is they had the us as an ally
did you know that?
You talking about Germany?
The french could’ve taken the US
thus the US production is FAR more 'self-made' and the Brits was far more 'taken' from others
I wish the Anglo-French empire was a thing
@Samaritan™ the hapsburg emperor was put in place by the french
Just imagine
no
the anglo parts would make it weak
It would be so good
remember lune
No I meant what Lune said about being thinly spread
French .... empire.. good?
are we kidding?
england is basically france if it cast off all that made france great
I thought you where a mutt Luci
they were salty they lost the hundred years war
and then pretended that france wasnt responsible for upraising their anglo barbarism
Luci is actually mentally retarded imao
Look there is no winner between England and France just admit it’s the same thing
what about that 'line in the sand' the french drew for the germans?
WE ARE THE SAME COUNTRY IN TWO DIFFERENT COLOURS OF CLOTHES
how did that work out?
