Won British forces suffered several defeats but eventually wiped out 70% of the Zulu population and took over southern Africa.

Ever wonder where Hitler got the idea it was all right to be racist, commit genocide, and try to take over the world? Look no farther than the glorious British Empire!

I have to admit, Great Britain has a very impressive military record.

Excuse me, but to compare the war we fought against the Zulus to the concentration camps is an unwarranted slur. Given the fact that our brave lads, a quarter of our army, are about to go into battle at your side, one would expect you to be a little more polite.

Do try.

Yeah right. Much better that the British empire never existed, then all those we ‘enslaved’ would have developed into peaceful, prosperous nations with city streets lined with gold. Mugabe in Zimbabwe has done wonders for his country now he’s thrown the oppressive shackles of the white man.

And the Maori in New Zealand would still be eating each other and living in a stone-age culture.
