>Colonialism is an inherently inefficient economic system. That's why the Yanks never bothered with that autism and settled for trade and spheres of influence.
Britain always opted for trade and spheres of influence if they could get away with it but more importantly...
You must be out of your mind. They conquered India by means of a company and the ICS typically employed fewer than a thousand Brits.
The US on the other hand needs 50,000 men with a budget larger than the Egyptian Armed Forces to police New York, a prosperous domestic city.
>That's why the Yanks never bothered with that autism and settled for trade and spheres of influence.
Within 10 years of winning WW2 the USA became embroiled in two calamitous Asian wars, winning neither and in recent years have hemorrhaged countless billions fighting a ubiquitous enemy that they emboldened by making partners.
You can criticize the ethics of colonialism all you like but it's a much more efficient and formidable system than this ad hoc kumbiyah neo-liberalism that the US try to run the world with.

You know it wasn't about one neutral city-state but about broader plans.

ICS were administrators not boots on the ground

>Perfidious Mexico gave up all of this because they wanted to take a nap

True, make the boots on the ground comparison though
or the civil service one.

>winning neither

South Korea's existence was preserved and it's a strong, prosperous, and reliable ally of the United States today. North Korea on the other hand is literally a meme country and time capsule to the 1960s whose existence is only tolerated because neither the South Korea or China wants to deal with millions of starving refugees fleeing over their borders.

I think it's safe to say we won the Korean War. Maybe not in the way we originally wanted to, a strategic win nonetheless.

>The US on the other hand needs 50,000 men with a budget larger than the Egyptian Armed Forces to police New York, a prosperous domestic city.

That's because you have Jews, Greeks, Italians, Poles, Dutch, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and Irish stuffed together onto an island that's 22 square miles and they all fucking hate each other.

>B-b-but we had to!
>Hitler was declaring war on the whole world!
>*Invades Iceland for no reason*
>*starves millions of poo in loos*

Only the starving part is valid. Food rationing and stuff. Iceland was taken before Germany could get to them.

>The only reason Iceland was invaded by Britain was so Germany couldn't get it
Interesting, because Germany invaded Norway to prevent Britain from getting it

I think the country that started an aggressive war is generally less trustworthy.

Partly. But also to ensure Swedish iron ore shipments from the Norwegian ports.

Interesting, because Germany was actually the one to start the war.

Why did the Entente actually take Danzig after WW1? Just to piss off Germany? Was there anything they gained from it?

Gave it up to the people who lived there.

Danzig actually had Germans living there.

>Germany declared war against THE WHOLE WORLD by wanting a pan-german state
>We had NO CHOICE

BEADY

So Poland when they attacked Gleiwitz radio tower?

A Polish city but it had mostly German population at the time because of partitions. In hindsight it was kind of dumb that they didn't just organized the plebiscite (which Germans would've won easily).
Not that it would help much because this city wasn't the cause of the war at all.

Germany started the war which pretty much means that they can get their ass kicked and there's no reason to feel sorry for them. What British should've done was to actually honor the alliance and strike Germany on the west.

Yes.

You're talking about the most well known false flag operation which was a total failure and fooled absolutely nobody even in 1939? Germans even found some dead homeless Pole and threw his body nearby as a proof but that didn't help.

Ah yes another thread about the fearsome Polish threat to peace in Europe.

Damn not even a satirical newspaper remembers that Germany used horses too and for the same purpose.

...

You could've stopped this Britain and become a hero. Why didn't you intervene?

I fear future generations will not look back kindly on Queen Elizabeth II
>oversaw the collapse of the faith she was sworn to defend, the dismantling of the British Empire, and allowed the deliberately implimented demographic replacement of its people.
Women am I right?
But seriously though it's insane how rapidly the United Kingdom collapsed under a single monarch.

Er... Britain did.

> Still the fourth most powerful nation on Earth
> cultural and linguistic hegemon
It's still pretty good.

No. It would be an awesome alternative universe though. Jodl said that in 1939 Germany wasn't strong enough to whitstand the French-British attack from the West even though their armies weren't too strong themselves but on September 12th both agreed to do nothing.

>> cultural and linguistic hegemon
That's the US tho

>The US on the other hand needs 50,000 men with a budget larger than the Egyptian Armed Forces to police New York, a prosperous domestic city.
Both world population and monetary inflation was much, much lower when Britain conquered India compared to now so of course the cost policing is much higher. Plus The gap of power of superpowers like the British Empire and backwards shitholes like India were much bigger the benefits of the industrial revolution has spread all over compared to the 19th century.

Ok. The US must have gained recently.

>Germany started the war
EYED

>Soft Power

>This what beady eyed anglos think Germans did
>UNIRONICALLY

ANGLO SCUM

That was the original point.

Britain has massive influence in literature, drama, law, and science/technology, wholly oversized for the country's actual size.

...

Germany and Soviet Union started the war in Europe on September 1st and 17th respectively. Happy?

Are you retarded? Nobody uses Common Law outside of the anglosphere, British literature and drama is belittled in continental Europe (>inb4 muh Shakespeare). I give you science, but France and Germany have similar influence without having their former colonies ruling the world.

Soft power is an autism measurement for countries that need to compensate for being pussies. The UK has a lot of international influence, but not because of their culture.

>Defend Poland from the Germans even though all they wanted was Danzig and German lands back
>Threaten to declare war on Germany if they continue to harass Poland, which the eternal Anglo parasite does just to piss of Germany
>It works and Germany sends Poland an ultimatum that they refuse
>Germany gives Britain the Middle Finger and does a joint invasion if Poland
>Anglo claims they declared war on the whole world because they are so egocentric that they think Britain is the whole world

This would be a good point if india wasn't many times larger and more populous during the 18th and 19th century than New York today.
>were much bigger the benefits of the
Mate fix your english and I have to ask why you've even used the word inflation in your post

> Nobody uses Common Law outside of the anglosphere

And literally no one gives a flying fuck about the non-Anglosphere

> Europe

This is what rock hard chad power projection looks like

>> he says in English, from England

>strategic win
???
Germany and Japan are very successful today, I suppose that means they must have defeated the allies?
New York is a backwards shithole.

It's not like they knew it would happen.

March 1939 borders look quite aesthetic to be honest.

>The 1960 Labour government pursued decolonization because Chamberlain guaranteed Poland
>This is what stormfags actually believe

Britain was the whole world, or at least 80% of it.

>benevolent Albion gave all this up because they were not barbaric enough to summarily execute Gandhi and all his followers unlike some """"""""""""people"""""""""""

But it isn't though.

Yeah definitely the best looking border Germany ever had. Shame they had to fuck it up

Okay cleetus, I'm sure your backwater village is so much more important

Why do people say cleetus as if it's an insulting name?
>Durr you must be a southern XD

Southerners are the most moral and competent people in the entire Northern Hemisphere

*slips dick back into sister*

Northerners are stupid confirmed

>gave up
Most of that is still a part of the commonwealth today, and most of those countries were independent at the time.

>racemixing is moral

*Slips sick back into brother then adopts a child together*

>Study: there are more blacks in the South than in other parts of the country, therefore miscegenation is more common where there are more blacks
>They needed a study to confirm this

Dear Veeky Forums

How do we get it back?

>living among niggers means we have to fuck them
Southern logic

>there are more blacks in the South than in other parts of the country
So you're admitting South is the worst part of the country then.

Nobody considers pleb culture when they talk about cultural power.

Post the real version

>Southerners are the most moral and competent people in the entire Northern Hemisphere
Nigger, that is a falsehood and you know it.

>He said, as the wiggers in Detroit become mulatto
Topkek. Yes, white people in the South who are near massive populations of blacks are more likely to miscegenate. That doesn't mean it's culturally accepted to be a coal burner down here. Hey what were the racial demographics of NYC again?

Uh oh, here comes the butthurt

Neither morals nor competence are a thing the South has going for it. Don't embarrass yourself.

Topkek

The South is attracting economic growth like no other time in its recent history. Southerners have managed to build a strong economy that is open to business as the quality of life down there is increasing rapidly. Meanwhile in Detroit niggers have turned it into an American Cape Town and the rest of the midwest is addicted to meth.

The South is by far the most competent place in the Western Hemisphere right now.

Reminder that England is literally the LEAST perfidious nation on earth. America may be the world's policeman, but Britain is the world's mediator.

And I resent Perfidious Gaul, Perfidious Teuton, Perfidious Nippon, Perfidious Rajastan and Perfidious Hamburger for making out like everything is our fault

And of that revitalization not one bit of it is coming from home-grown Southern capital. The cycle of gentrification has swung from the west coast and North into the South.

Its the best looking Germany besides 2nd Reich.

Dem Curves ....

>WW2 was just a series of clay-stealing gambits to stop other countries from clay-stealing first

England was the fairest, liberal, and most compromising nation on Earth. The P*ussians were the cancer of Europe.

Scientific development was stalled for centuries before people discovered the concept of testing whether things they took for granted were actually true. Thought 95% of the time you're basically just confirming your guesses, in the other 5% of cases you actually learn something! Crazy!

It was still colonialism, and US economic imperialism continued there long after the war ended

how do you measure this "soft power"

They'd offered Germany a multitude of concessions even before Adolf Hitler. It wasn't Britain who drew the line either - the French poles and of course the colonies saw the Reich as a serious danger since Danzig was the fourth territorial concession Germany demanded. Those countries combined and their allies even in 1939 were geographically most of the planet.
