“The Spanish conquistadores would beg to differ. Colonialism and Imperialism are both considered a conquest.”

They can differ all they like, but we have different words for them because they are in fact different things.

“Not every single one of them.”

Yes, every single one of them (except Russia, as I said before, who still clings to some colonies in Siberia and the like).

“For instance, look at Britain...15 nations are under The Commonwealth Realm”

Commonwealth nations aren’t ruled by Britain, so that’s not a real objection.

“Sovereign nations much like our Indian reservations.”

No, Commonwealth nations are actual sovereign nations, unlike the Indian tribes, which have a very limited “sovereignty”.

“Let’s look at Mexico...Spain called it Viceroyalty of New Spain, and ruled it for 300 yrs.”

And yet, they rule it no more, because in the end, it was far too much trouble, despite the fact that Mexico was the richest gem besides India in the crown of the colonizers.

You’re an idiot - it’s apparent.

All of your responses are twists of the truth or outright lies.
