Yes, strange indeed that those imperialist Swiss, Norwegians, Danish, Japanese, South Koreans, and Canadians never want to admit that it's their imperialist ventures that made them rich. I wonder why?

Japan was an imperialist state, they abused China horribly for example. But yeah not all rich countries were imperialist. And arguably Japan didn't got rich from being imperialist, they got rich after they got bombed to hell and rebuilt without any extra territories.

    Two cities were nuked of the how many that got firebombed to ashes. It certainly helped that Japan was already a industrialized country when ww2 happened. So the institutional knowledge was already there in Japan to rebuild and do it fast.

The Nordic countries also have the blood of imperialism on their hands. While most of that history is not mentioned by mainstream media and removed from peoples thought, because they were smaller players in the imperialist game and peaked in the 18th century. Canada went from a couple of outpost to a continental size country, going as far as killing and raping indigenous children and burying them in their school gardens.. South Korea is a vassal of the US and were allowed to develop, a strong south Korea can be used against China when the need arises. If the US wants they can pretty much decapitate Samsung and succeed like the US tried with Huawei but seems to failing. Japan was the scourge of Asia in the 20th century, my Chinese great grand father got stabbed by them during their imperial rampage through South east Asia. Its a known fact the imperialist colonizer try to sweet talk their regime like bringing civilization, human rights(woke imperialism) and now they will most likely use the climate(green imperialism) to cover for their crimes. https://nordics.info/show/artikel/the-colonialism-of-denmark-norway-and-its-legacies https://nordics.info/show/artikel/the-colonialism-of-denmark...
