  1. The theft of resources and the rape of the indigenous people,

    creating confused mixed race mongrels, part human/part european.


  2. Well, going to Africa, slaughtering their elephants, chaining up the natives and making them carry the ivory tusks to their ships to sell in their countries comes to mind...,

    That goes for all the other wild life they systematically destroyed on their "safaris",

    I don't think the elephant population ever fully recovered. We are not talking a few thousand elephants here, folks, we're talking MILLIONS over a period of hundreds of years.  

    Now it's "black market", I wonder how much Ivory the Queen of England and other European monarchs own, How much do the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers and the vanderbilts and Astors, etc. own?  

    Then destroying their lands for profit wasn't enough, they also had to take the natives and transport them all over the globe as slave labor,

    that's why there are blacks in the islands and in America and all over the world, because the slave masters BROUGHT them there forcing them to work to build up the white man's industries. Whether it be sugar cane in the islands or cotton in the Americas,

    Also, what the h**l gives them the right to go "discover" a land that's already populated by people and say "I claim this land! I shall colonize it for my queen/king and name it after one of these blood thirsty leeches in my country!"

    Also, speaking of how much the monarchs and other criminal cartel elitist families of Europe own,

    what about all the raping and pillaging of lands over hundreds of years?

    Their museums are FILLED with looted property from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt among hundreds of other places.

    Ah, yes, Colleen reminded me of the English opium wars on China,

    this is just one of the many examples of their cold hearted  punishments of countries who don't 'play ball', which is STILL

    GOING ON TIL TODAY, TAKE NOTE OF THAT, it's their criminal way of empire expansion and it never went away.

    And how can we forget the outright GENOCIDE on the poor Native American people, the worst genocide and oppression  that has ever been seen to date.

    Gompy USA: Don't be a simple minded peasant. Learn your history,

    the European elites went into other countries telling their peasantry it was always about good intended missionary pretenses like spreading "Christianity" or 'democracy', but in actuality it's all about power, domination and money,

    always has been the case and nothing EVER CHANGED.

  3. NONE!!!

    There was no crime. Europeans brough faith, prosperity and future.

    All positive things.

  4. Enslavement of and occupation of China in the late 19th and early 20th century, Belgium's horrible rule of the Congo, British transfer of wealth from India to Great Britain, etc.  The United States even got into the act in the early 20th century.  Colonialism stole resources and enslaved people making them second class citizens in their own lands.  It also prevented the progress and development of political structures in many of the colonized nations and/or contributed to a lack of political cohesiveness that affected them for many years.
