Murder and torture are German trademarks.

Well, then a lot of other peoples (the Soviets, the Rwandans, the Red Chinese, the Japanese, etc.) are guilty of trademark infringement.

Namibia waw very far away from the Arab slave trade

The British, Spanish and Portuguese were less cruel than the German, French, Dutch and Belgian. Which is why the former have had a lasting impact

[Cronos]

Also this and what he Belgians did in the Congo or the Feench in Indo china was not expansion of western civilisation. The Belgians and Germans were cruel, kill em all, the French were cruel. The Dutch were only in it for creating captive markets and suppliers.

[Cronos]

Well specifically the Prussian led German empire. Germans from other parts were not as ruthless

[Cronos]

I disagree. The Germans before the 1800s were not more war pike than their neighbors. The Prussian culture was war like, bit the genes.

The Belgians were by far the worst.

The Prussians didn’t treat Catholic Poles much better (Kulturkampf).

I think that is true. It also appears that the Bantu tribes displaced the San and there was fairly continual warfare.

Yep.
