@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 ?
