familyop...... are you trying to say that had America been an empire like the Raj, we would have seen some 3 million Brit soldiers been used as cannon fodder in places like Vietnam and elsewhere and we would be witnessing a hunger holocaust of biblical proportions back home in Britain? You are damn right.
Read on the Brit propaganda and ........grow it like it. /sarc

Yes...exactly that and other instances of colonization. Thank you for bringing that to our attention, GK. "Raj Empire" (done without the quotation marks here) is a good phrase of keywords for searches on the history, and the information might be good for everyone reading this thread. But people new to reading histories of empires, beware of propaganda pieces administered by nationalist subjects of former empires. Read the histories from colonials or from third parties.
Most Americans are unaware of important facts from our own history of warfare against empire (examples being promises to lords of large areas to rule, and that there was more than one war for independence).
