Speaking of Israel...

British?

The American Revolution was at first considered the Second English Civil War, the concept that an Anglo-Saxon North American was seperate from an Anglo-Saxon European was an invention that came about at the end of the war. Before then, George Washington was for all intents and purposes British.

According to Wikipedia, the colonial governing was much improved after some atrocities happened and turned into one much improved even in comparison to other nations. How Germany is comparable to the Spanish now is entirely beyond me.

I was including the Italian, Portugese, Belgian colonies in my assessment. Had those German colonies been British, the atrocities would not have happened to the extent that they did, if only due to Britain having already reformed in response to it's own set of atrocities in the preceding centuries.

There not just mainlanders and islanders in Europe.

Matter of opinion apparantly, though I could not think of a different set of labels to seperate Britain from the rest of the European colonisers.

And ignoring that, having colonies was a bad idea in the first place, that's why we stayed out of it until the wonderful institution of monarchy gave us an idiot who wanted glory and money for the capitalists who had been begging to be allowed to subdue others for a long time. And who invented capitalism again?

We also invented the Maxim machine gun, doesnt mean we always obeyed it's mindless chatter any more than we did the capitalists; that you king did, well, buyer beware and all that.
