the Mongol Empire

Mongol empire is epic

@Deleted User that isn't a colonial empire

just because it extended across Europe and Asia won't make it a colonial empire

Mongol tribes settled all over Eurasia from the steppe of Rus, the rivers of Mesopotamia, and the Northern basin of China. If that isn't colonisation, then nothing is colonisation.

so by that logic

Every empire is a colonial empire in the strictest sense

are the Germanic tribes collectively a colonial empire...?

cause I don't perceive them as such

being myself a great fan of the Goths historically more and more

and I dispute that notion

trade empires

they have existed... also militaristic empires

they weren't a cohesive polity, but yes, the Franks colonised Gaul, the Wisigoth colonised Iberia, the Lombard colonised Italy.

the British were a colonial empire, while Germans had a militaristic, dictatorial empire

when you say the word colony

dictatorial? the third reich?

and Goths are described as such

I don't think the Goths even gave a shit about colonialism

that wasn't their idea back then

they wanted a liberation from Roman gladiatorial persecutions and purges, ended up in a coalitin

coalitions aren't colonies

they are forced small to large bands that eventually will form colonies

and settlements

What's the definition of colonisation?

>the action of appropriating a place or domain for one's own use

The Goth may not have a political concept of colonisation, but by moving, conquering, and settling they participated in colonisation.

Every movement of population/organism is a form of colonisation.

it's not definition

it's the actual lifestyle of these peoples

everyday circumstances

you can't tell they lived about or around the ideas of the English dictionary when they did not speak English

modern English even, developed more so in Norman influenced England, lots of French and Latin borrowings over the years, all the Anglo-Saxons of notice having moved to the Viking regions of the English landmass

this is a original source of the Goths, the Breviary of Alaric

another of their sources

so Anglo landing on the shores of Britain isn't colonisation? Norse building village on Iceland, and Greenland isn't colonisation? Some fungi growing on the wet bread you forgot in your kitchen cupboard isn't colonisation?
