Not by a long shot.

Now that's not to say Britain doesn't have a history of doing some really awful things, but as an empire all we had going for us in the 'complete moral monsters' department.

That prize would probably go to the French, or maybe the Belgiums because they managed to pack so much awfulness into such a limited reign.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll admit I don't know nearly as much about French or Belgian atrocities, all I know is that almost all the countries that were ever coloured red have still to recover from the experience.

Also I don't understand your second sentence, are you missing the end of the last clause?

[sandor051.livejournal.com]

Sorry, meant to say that size was all we really had going for us. There's very very few countries in the world we haven't at some point either ruled, or went to war with.

Now this isn't to downplay the atrocities that Britain did commit, which it would take an awfully long time to list, it's just you need to contextualise it. When compared to any of the other colonial powers spread across the world, we weren't remarkable in any respect except scope.

If anything as you touched upon, the thing we were worst at was pulling out. Whilst ruling we'd played numerous ethnic groups within each country against each other, then just drew lines almost at random to demarcate these new nations, and conceded to autonomous rule practically overnight.

As one would expect, the natives didn't really appreciate this.

I was only talking about WWII since OP's secret seemed to suggest that they were only talking about WWII (they specifically said "1940s US/UK" for fuck's sake), I don't really know how this discussion turned into a discussion of the history of European countries from time immemorial and who had the most cumulative blood on their hands

Sometimes I hate fandom secrets so much

[miezen.livejournal.com]

You aren't replying to OP, though. You're replying to me. I'm talking about the nature of the series in general, and thus all of world history.

[childings.livejournal.com]

You're rambling and detracting from the point of the secret, which is that the US and UK's war crimes in WWII were just as bad as the Nazi's and the Soviets. Which is not true by a long shot.

[miezen.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps you should've just replied to the secret itself instead of being an ass for no good reason. Also uh. Part of the point was that things like the Hammer and Sickle get waved around carelessly and no one bats an eyelash. So no.

Also I don't see anything saying America and the UK's war crimes were equal to Nazi and Soviet war crimes. I see the implication that none of them should be joked about or taken lightly, though. Which is true, as ridiculous as lumping cosplay into that group is.

all I know is that almost all the countries that were ever coloured red have still to recover from the experience.

As a South American, I can tell you that it's the same for all old colonies.

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Eh, my personal opinion is that any country that gets even a little power is bound to, at some point in their history, go batshit insane.

Really, is there any nation that hasn't committed atrocious acts in the last thousand or so years? I think most large countries have probably committed some scale of genocide in their past.

Not that this excuses those atrocities, just that when people start talking about who is the worst a part of my brain starts going 'Just give people power and time, power and time...'

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to this thing called the Opium Wars. You might be interested.
