no
Michael Gray
why not? you made them
Ryder Butler
they are shit
Blake Lewis
Their colonies are objectively better than any other European nations colonies though
US is a super power and Canada/Australia/NZ are some of the best places outside of Europe you can live
Nolan Peterson
France created Quebec. That's pretty close
Christian Nguyen
no he didn't you mong
he wasn't even alive when they were created
Ethan Ross
Wow, the only example which is also de facto dominated by anglos. Interesting
Matthew White
oh no no no

Jayden Gomez
It's honestly quite incredible when you think about it; the magnitude of difference and superiority
Dylan Perry
The Philippines was under USA rule too though. its not purely Spanish.
Jose Wood
don't give a fuck
Ayden Bennett
It was an objectively better place to be under US rule too

I'm a little Englander, I would've never went further than the cliffs of Dover were it up to me. Colonies were nothing but a headache.

Xavier Mitchell
solid argument
Colton Sanders
I have so many nationalities in my background from many generations ago. It's pointless to try to identify with any of them as I have no tactile connection to them.
The highest percentage I am of anything is 1/8 Irish lmao
Nolan Lopez
The whole planet is our colony
Easton Russell
No but only because I believe these colonies should have been directly incorporated into the United Kingdom when we began the process of settlement.... Instead we had no long term plan and they were simply used to dump excess population.
Canada/Australia and New Zealand at the very least would be constituent nations of the UK today if we had any sense in the 19th century.
Isaac Williams
In the current political climate, I doubt that because
