Ah yes, the most brutal were eastern European, Ukrainian, Polish and Baltic colonies
(Not denying colonialism was and is a fucking disease, just think it's unfair to judge ALL of Europe for it when it is basically exclusively western Europe that did that shit)
It's even dumber to blame the Balkans for neo-colonialism.
They can't even colonize their neighbors, and they really really want to.
I just... Misread your comment and didnt mean to imply I was disagreeing, but thought I was adding something by being succinct.
Well, I mean Slovakia didn't exactly exist as a nation during the majority colonial expansion. They were part of the austro-hungarian empire, which did participate in some colonialism, though less than most at the time.
Yeah. We were the colonized ones to be honest. Always the lesser under the Hungarians mainly.
Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch to be completely blunt

Idk I think it's pretty fitting. I just think it's an older type of colonialism, more similar to how the ottomans typically treated their holdings.
You don't want to get bitten by a Europe. You'll get an urge to buy lederhosen and eat waffles.
This is completely unfair to the extreme efforts of evil undergone by the French, Portuguese, Dutch, and Italians.
