Which country resisted European and Western colonization/imperialism by either winning the most battles/wars entirely...

China, Russia, Mongolia, Uzbeki, USA

Gah dat vision will never be realized
Rest in peace Cecil Rhodes

Fuck Cecil Rhodes (and not because of muh diamonds)

WW2 wasn't a colonial effort

No colonial efforts were successful on Japan

And a war victory wouldn't have been either without the atomic bomb which was invented the same year. Japan could have lost its offensive game, but an invasion against Japan wouldn't have been successful

You have to hand it to the Nepalese, they're bloody good fighters.
But no-one can stand against the Eternal Anglo forever.

Muh jewry? Please don't attribute colonialism to the jews. Yes, Cecil Rhodes worked for some jews, but it wasn't zionism - or are you saying zionists in the past wanted to spread whiteness even to the point were Rhodesia was majority white and the plan was to colonize all of Africa similar to the fate of the Indians in both Americas?

Afghanistan was notoriously hard to maintain.

>colonize all of Africa similar to the fate of the Indians in both Americas?
I wish I could see that world

Reminder that this cartoon was meant to represent the goal of building a trans-African railroad -- "From Cairo to the Cape!".

Me too. Africa is beautiful. So much unutilized land. Imagine having a home in the savannahs

I cry evrytim thinking about how Cecil Rhodes vision wasn't realized and what could've been

Afghanistan until even today

Japan didn't resist imperialism, though. They adopted it and joined us as a colonial power in their own right.

Becoming an ally isn't the same as being colonized, burger retard

You missed the point. I'm saying they shouldn't count because they didn't resist colonization efforts, they evaded the attempt by becoming one of us. Like you said they were an ally, nobody tried to colonize them.

West tried to colonize them for almost a century. What are you talking about. It was only after the Meiji Restoration that they became an imperial power. Before then during the Edo period they shut down and isolated themselves deliberately repelling colonial and trade efforts

well you aren't wrong, hooknosed aquintance

sorry kiddo, we diddled that pool, before you guys btfo'ed them and westernized them
>bitterballen teriyaki whilst watching anime in Hiroshima

Nobody had any interest in Japan. Too far, no resources. But the Western powers did indeed force Japan to trade with them, accept Christian missionaries and reverse their isolationist policies. What the Western powers did to Japan is the exact same thing they did to China, the only difference is that Japan accepted it diplomatically while China outright refused and was forced to be put on the sword to accept it.

I always hated that Dutch guy in Samurai Champloo who was there looking for "manlove" because he was a homo. What a retarded way to bring up Dutch influence in Japan at the time.

You're talking about the Meiji restoration you retard I said during the Edo period they repelled all efforts. Meiji restoration opened up to trade, not colonialism. Trading with the west isn't the same as being colonized. Japan repelled all colonial efforts, and even trade, for almost a century, deliberately. Then ultimately just opened up to trade.

So they were never colonized and held off for the longest of time, while the rest of the world was colonized. What are you not understanding

Japs didn't allow any european traders due to their tendacy to push religion. the dutch were for a long time to only europeans that were aloud to trade with the japs, the dutch mainly sold the japs books, tools, western technology, europea naval technologies and ships
>tfw you help the japs develop

indeed, and they enforced the "dutch people are gays" meme, we did much more for Japan goddamnit

A victory against Japan was inevitable, the bomb just made it faster, cheaper, and cleaner.

Not a mainland invasion you absolute fucking retard, only their outward expansion efforts

Italy complety fucked up Ethiopia and EThiopia is the country that was the most destroyed by colonialism
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Italo-Ethiopian_War

> The list included the destruction of 2,000 churches, 535,000 houses, the slaughter or theft of 5,000,000 cattle, 7,000,000 sheep and goats, 1,000,000 horses and mules and 700,000 camels.[3]
>] In a memorandum submitted to the Paris conference in 1946, the Ethiopian government enumerated 275,000 men killed in action, 78,500 Patriots killed in hostilities during the occupation from 1936–1941, 17,800 women and children killed by bombing, 30,000 people killed in the massacre of February 1937, 35,000 people died in concentration camps, 24,000 Patriots killed in obedience to orders from summary courts, 300,000 people died after their villages had been destroyed, a total of 760,300 deaths.[3]

>Ethiopian troops used Dum-Dum bullets, which had been banned by declaration IV, 3 of the Hague Convention, 1899 and began mutilating captured Eritrean Askari (often with castration) in the first weeks of war.[90] After December, the Ethiopians began to torture Italians, who retaliated with the use of poison gas. Italian military forces disposed of hundreds of tons of gas which had been transported to East Africa in the decade before the war.[91] The Italian army used 300–500 t (300–490 long tons) of mustard gas, despite being a signatory to the 1925 Geneva Protocol, justified by the deaths of Minniti and his observer in the Ogaden.[92] The use of gas was authorised by Mussolini,

>kek
Anatolia was never colonized.

>divided between russia and UK
Not really, most of Persia was independant de facto and de jure

>similar to persia, but more under UKs control
Afghanistan was never conquered or colonized by any western power

>turkey
It was before the turks even came to Turkey.
>Afghanistan
Never really pacified or controled by Alexander.
>China
Qing China was independant until the end.
>Dutch technology and trade influenced them
By this logic medieval europe was arabic
>westernized them before america came and finished the job
I guess Japan rule the west since the 80's considering their huge economic and cultural influence

Not colonization, but we did cuck them into opening their ports under admiral Perry- it's where the term gunboat diplomacy comes from.

I have to admit the Meiji mission was quite impressive. The whole nation mobilized to become an industrial power in an incredibly short amount of time.

Ethiopia was fucked up by a world War, not colonization.

I explicitly said they eventually opened up ergo Meiji restoration. Are you having reading deficiencies?

All those countries you listed are better than your nation though and Croatia hasn't conquered shit.

Meiji restoration was a cuckoldry. They abandoned all their history, heritage, it was the beginning of the end of Japanese culture.

They mobilized fast because they could just copy what was known. Like how China's rebuilt really fast. There's nothing impressive about it, just commitment to abandoning everything you know and do what works, ultimately leaving you blind as to where to go next.

What's the future for China now that they've copied all of the west. What's their end game? They have no innovation. They'll suffer an imperial Japanese future. Expansion is what's next and it won't end well

One of my favourite answers to this question is Botswana. Simply saw what the Empire was capable of and became a protectorate. Basically kept pretty much all its independence and got the world superpower on its side.

Afghanistan for sure, Pashtunistan to be precise

I still don't get how English managed to lose 3 wars during a whole century against those stone age people
or how NATO today is losing very hard and half of afghanistan is under the taliban

You explicitly said they "repelled colonial and trade efforts".
They opened up because we sailed a fleet to their country and told them to.

japan didnt really exists at that time, I doubt most of the regional japanese leaders heard of that deal

There is no such thing as westernization, just modernisation. Fools like you fail to make the distinction then wonder why the world moves on without you.

>other than Ethiopia
Ethiopia doesn't really count. After all, when it comes to resisting European armies, Italy is easy mode.

italians were fighting 1 to 10 and Ethiopians are modern fire arms and european support

>please, other than Ethiopia

Abyssinia

They didn’t, they simply held out longer than most.

It was under Tokugawa

>being a progressive

Siam

The only way to win against warrior societies is by wipe them all out, it's just not worth it so after a while they learn to let that beehive alone.
If Alexander can't do it you shouldn't try it hehe

>You shouldn't shape the world in your image, you should embrace what's coming at you
is basically your argument and it's wrong.

I'm not saying advancing technology wise is the issue. I am saying abandoning your traditions is. Japan embracing Christianity wasn't necessary. Japan discarding the samurai tradition or many other of their traditions wasn't necessary. Whatever, only retards are in this thread

yeah during the Harris Treaty the tokugawa weren't really ruling much, it was a pretty decentralized

I doubt the 33 millions of japaneses heard of that treaty

based MACEDONIAN not-greek Alexander :^^^)))

Not compared to the rest of its history.
It was enough for the shogunate to collapse and be replaced by the Emperor, so does it matter? Hard not to notice Americans and French and Russians all of a sudden moving in and out of your cities when they were supposed to be closed.

Thailand

Vietnam. They btfo out of the French and USA.

I thought the narrative was that it was a net positive for the world and the West is the Best and White Man's Burden and all that.
We /maoists/ now?

Most imperialism in the more advanced countries was the sort where the great powers would buy land and build a port for trading, then buy up more land and build factories and make investments, and then promote the creation of a civil society that would protect their investments from lawlessness and theft from the locals. Most problems arose from the locals wanting to steal what the Europeans built.

East asia had a problem with that. Look at China Korea Vietnam . The only ones who accepted that were japs

No wonder their coffee is THE SHIT

Afghanistan maybe, idk correct me if I'm wrong

Alexander won, though. He left behind a Greek kingdom in Afghanistan.
