I always ask. Compared to what? Try it.

True. Imagine Shaka Zulu doing the colonization. Read the book, "Washing The Spears" about the Anglo Zulu Wars. The Zulu crushed and removed every African tribe in their path until the British showed up.Native Americans would not have been better off.

Or the Africans..

Many British colonies went backwards after the British left, but Stefan you already know that.

The British had a lot of head- bashing-in practice subduing the Irish, and the Spaniards with the Moors there was a well set precedent of brutality prior to skipping on over here

Seems pretty clear there was a difference in approach between the Northern European and Iberian colonizers. The latter being much less defensible.

Yep. I believe if Islam wasn't held back at Vienna then slavery would be the norm to this day

Just watch Empire of Dust

The cream of the ottoman military were the janissary....kidnapped Christian Europeans. Could anyone have defeated the Comanche besides the white man? I honestly do not know.
