@B612_27@SignalFootBE Wie is "wij"? Deze gast is zo goed als dood wat mij betreft. Ze mogen zijn Belgische nationaliteit afnemen en deporteren naar de Congo waar het zo "natuurlijk" voor hem voelt.
@histortwistory@DM_Vincenzo By these standards the Netherlands are an equally manufactured state. With no mention of a state until it broke away in a revolution against the Habsburg Monarchy. Propped up by a foreign bloodline of nobles (the French house of Orange).
@BrownsLaws@Valen10Francois The Empire absolutely could but simply wasn't willing to.
You are talking about the Empire that subjugated the entire Indian subcontinent and most of Africa and the East Indies.
The 13 colonies were not worth the investment of a wider campaign to retake them.
