@Rayman740466@FenrirLokison97@OlgaBazova Regardless of that, blood was spilled, it doesn’t matter what suvorov wanted or not. It was a result of an imperial conquest.
@Rayman740466@FenrirLokison97@OlgaBazova I brought up Circassian genocide - conquest well documented by the imperial Russian forces, complete destruction of the oponent. But there are also episodes such as battle and slaughter of Warsaw Praga https://t.co/uy81gCvKWr
@Rayman740466@FenrirLokison97@OlgaBazova Simplified, but basically yes, one could argue that it depends on how the conquered populations were treated, but since the history is written by the conquerers and not conquered… almost every conquest in the history was to a large extent brutal
@Rayman740466@FenrirLokison97@OlgaBazova Difference between conquest of Africa, Americas and Asia by Russia . I just don’t see a fundamental difference between land and sea expansionism of European empires (Spain, england, France and Russia)
@Rayman740466@OlgaBazova Circassians were genocided, these who survived were deported or had to flee. Some places lost as much as 90% of ethnic population .
@FenrirLokison97@OlgaBazova Going further- British built railways and try to build sanitation in India … native aboriginal in Australia lived like in Stone Age etc etc … so colonization was good ? Right ?
