Lol, that's the first mistake about history: using today's morality to judge the past!

Europe didn't exist during the time of Alexander the Great, knuckle-head. Also, I'd argue Iran began with the Sassanids, not the Achaemenids. Culturally and linguistically, Iran has more in common with Sassanids than Achaemenids.

You weren't using that land anyway.

>japan was never under european influence

As a matter of fact Japan was under american occupation after the WWII, this is why the country has to many similarities in its political system.

Japan is European. Korea should be in green.

I think he meant the Allied occupation of WWI and WWII mistah.

Yeah sorry we're superior

what the fuck does "european sphere of influence" even mean
puppet regimes?

Hitara carada usu honarary aransu!

Wtf why is Somaliland white? What does white mean?

...

Unironically, all the Countries in orange (Thailand, South Korea, Japan) are now under American influence, which are just Post-Europeans anyway

>Europe stretching all the way to Kamachtka
Nice map

This is stupid though, today's morality wasn't created yesterday. Throughout European colonial history there were critics of mistreatment of the natives.

Take the Congo Free State for example, Leopold II only gained control of the area because he promised the international community he had humanitarian intentions and there was an international uproar when it was discovered what was going on.

That shouldn't even count for Iran given the circumstances and Afghanistan was never part of that
Yea kinda, for example Afg had a British puppet government for a little while which didn't mean shit since the other 99% of the country ignored Kabul

Genocide isn't a moral judgement.

Using Thailand as an example, we made them pay us (Anglos) and work with us, in return we didn't colonise them.

Indeed. The judgement is "Genocide is bad", and by saying that "European Colonialism was genocide" you make it "European Colonialism was bad".

That ought to place them in the teal category. The fact that the colour white isn't even a category presented, and that they then include a white colour, seems to imply this map was just thrown together in haste.

There was some insane Brit who did that against the Persians and despite just about all the horses dying somehow managed to confuse the Persians so badly with his suicidal antics they retreated

No, I did mean Alexander the Great. And the term "Europa" exists before Koine Greek, so the concept existed.

Countries colonized by Europeans did experience genocides. That is a fact.
