There wasn't an Israel before.
What the Belgians did was on some other shlt you would be hard pressed to find anything comparable in modern history. Besides what the Japanese did... If you made a chart of the effects colonialism has had on countries the positives will always outweigh the negatives. The only holocaust was the one carried out by the Nazi's on the Jews in 1940's Germany.
some Armenians want to speak with you.

Statements like this is why nobody will ever take you seriously. You should be vivisected alive so they can try to figure out what undocumented chemical imbalance you suffer from.
Check mate. At least someone prior to you had figured it out.

Doesn't Dinesh D'Souza claim that he's straight Portuguese?
Also if anything slavery probably would have gone on even longer if we were still under British rule. Their textile industry would have been even more ridiculously lucrative money having that kind of access to massive cotton plantations with legions of free labor. The French Revolution either wouldn't have happened or it would have happened differently and England probably would've built up a lot more influence on the European mainland.

No one said there were never any genocides besides those carried out by the Nazi's.
What did the Germans do in Namibia?
I find it hard to beat what the Belgians and Japanese have done.

Pretty much what the British did in Australia with the added twist of killing 75% (between 24,000 - 100,000 people) of an entire tribe by forcing them into a desert to starve to death, rounding up the survivors (by lying to them) and putting them in concentration camps for the express purpose of killing the rest while making German industrialists rich with slave labor. The Gov't. even went so far as to allow privately-owned German companies to build their own concentration camps.
Germans 'apologized' in 2004, but have yet to compensate the survivors and own nearly all of the commercial land.

Read over the wiki a bit earlier. Have any other reading to suggest?
Can't say I knew anything about this thanks.
Well as many of the Boers/South Africans were of German decent this should come as no surprise.
The sad this is the League of Nations and later the UN tried to rectify the situation and were blocked by the Communists and later the South African Government(racist c*nts).
This sounds like the sorts of things fictional supervillains would do. To bad it actually happened

have you heard of the Somersett Case?

It still took 61 years to completely outlaw it in British territories, and 35 years just to stop British involvement in the slave trade. Somersett's Case meant nothing for the territories and colonies, just for England itself.

Him ignoring the contribution of Colonialism to the modern wars in Africa->
So the British didnt under develop the Southern Sudan relative to Northern Sudan?
So the British didnt favor the Baganda in Uganda to the disenfranchisement of other groups?
and the Belgians didnt favor the Tutsi over the Hutu?
I mean these are just a few examples
Thats not to say that everything was rosy before the Colonialist arrived but they certainly stirred things up in way that inflamed tensions
