Not really true. The early British colonies had a lot of peaceful trade and alliances with native tribes until the first Indian war. And even after the first Indian war, the British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide of the Americans westward expansion.
I was amazed just how true this is. There was a collosal head and arm of an Egyptian statue in the British museum, and a plaque saying the rest of the statue (body and legs) were still where they found it. Presumably because they were to heavy to take back.
It’s really not on at all that some countries still have their own cultural icons. They all need to be in the British museum where they can be conveniently appreciated.
We need to do one for the continent where it’s like France/Belgium/Netherlands Venn diagram with the neighbor’s dog that they swear isn’t racist but only barks at black people.
