We have already figured it out we used to have a great big empire that doesn't exist anymore. Before ww1 Europe used to be a land of empires we are not today but what the world has today outside of Europe exists because our empires don't here today just like north and south America reallly but that side your all Europeans who mainly came from Europe to escape the b.s. in Europe over the last 150 years and the rest of the world had people living there.

The first nation us Brits gave independence to from our empire was America.

We will tell you the truth before ww1 north and south America and a few other nations had already been given independence from the empires in Europe. But they still existed after ww1 and lots of western European empires specially the British and french empire still existed after ww2 basically they don't today but what the world has today outside of Europe and nations to call home exists instead today.

195 nations in the world today and most of them didn't exist untill after ww2. That's are problem we have to pander to the modern world and because some fool in America said he wanted to bring peace to Europe after ww1 and ww2 which his vision seems not to have come true ( Woodrow Wilson) here we are today in a continent that will always be criticised for its colonial past but just like America today dont see what they have today because of it.

Cutting the crap out of world and European history over the last 100 years that's it really. We have not been invading nations but creating them really.

Only difference is Putin is a hypocrite he doesn't like talking about the russian empire and some people don't like talking about the soviet union now east and west Germany and Yugoslavia all places that existed 30 years ago but don't today and we are are certainly not allowed to talk about our empires here and what they have turned into today infact living in the UK in the 70s and 80s you had your life destroyed if you did.

What I'm trying to say is Europe and America don't deserve the reputation we have around the world the European union is no good for no one so we let people know about the past now things are not working here in Europe because Europe changed 30 years ago and we need to let the world know what they have today stems from our history and we have more in common today.

Respect the nations they choose to live in there history and culture or do one that's how you bring security to Europe not messing around with freedoms and liberties we gave people coming here in Europe and in America now. Seems a lot of politicians in Westminster and Washington seem to have forgotten what there elders came to the UK America for in the first place for and how great these nations in Europe truly where not so long ago now.

@WeirdWizardDave Not hard to understand is it before ww1 apart from a few nations that got independence from us European empires in ww1 most of the world you live in today ans Nations in it have come into existence over the last 100 years and mainly since ww2. Cutting the crap out of history and people using our empire history in Europe against us today our empires don't exist anymore but what the world has today outside of Europe just like America and Canada and south America stems from our history here.

 @WeirdWizardDave you don't think they are going to decolonise the planet then go on about our colonial history in Europe like that's the problem today in the world do you.
1
@WeirdWizardDave There scared that people here will go back into that past I should imagine Woodrow Wilson was right as continents go what's been going on here centuries before we started exploring around the world let's say is where the modern world stems from today. They should be more open about what they want lin the west because where our empires used to be has caught up with us now.

@WeirdWizardDave we have had Palestinian and Israelis protesting in the UK there politicians now have had arrest warrants issued for them by the i.c.c. We don't even need to say anything anymore that will carry on though and many nations in the middle east and Arab world got independence from us done in a different way and they live in nations now because of us just like America. People think we have been invading the world that side and in Africa but it's been nothing like that past the modern world you live in today is nothing like it was 100 years ago and before ww2 in a lot of cases 30 years ago now.

@Miichael-b1j lots of independence history was written in a different time you can certainly question it. I was talking to a young lad from Kenya about there independence history and us Brits pretty much xo existed with the Kenyans they said an African tribe drove the British out of Kenya I just said do you believe that he said the same as me well you can question it. Technology the world is all different we couldn't communicate 30 years ago couldn't really travel untill in the 80s I just think time would be a great healer for this world if these outdated people in the world deal with things right and deal with the future better today by showing people how far we have come in the America's Europe and across the world now. It's just since ww2 things have not been done right and Europe doesn't want to change the way they do things the fear the past here because of ww2 that's why anyone talking about empire today and white Europeans get terrible slurs thrown against us in a world that's completely different then before 1776 the first industrial revolution ww1 and ww2 and 30 years ago now.
1
@Miichael-b1j another thing is as well they make colonial history look worse then what it is and most of the modern world doesn't even attend from colonies but us helping people in areas after we partioned them colonies where European like the 13 colonies where British but most of the problems came from Partioning it's not the past that's the problem but for some empire history is recent and independence around the world but the world outside Europe is better then us now.

@VideoSpectator1223 what's the point we can't talk and the whole world can live in the past with us in the uk and Europe. Like it or not America today stems from British and European history and if your white or Hispanic in America who you actually are today is European to.
1
We can't even talk about our history in the UK and Europe around the world with the whole world living here to. They even celebrate American independence day in London today and trump is walking around shaking hands with our monarchy today. That's who the revolution was against where the nation of America was born.

@VideoSpectator1223 pre modern world history starting in 1776 to modern world history that stems from ww1 and from empires to nation states unless you allow us to talk in Europe then Europe will become even more then the utter mess today and the UK and Europe nothing like it was 30 years ago today.

@VideoSpectator1223 I'm not arguing with you anymore or the rest of the world since a child growing up in the UK in the 70s and 80s I have been doing that. I'm not doing this to upset Americans but from America to Australia into Polynesia people need to understand our empires don't exist anymore here in Europe but what the world has today outside of Europe does simple as that.
