france was defeated in war, spain was turned into a puppet state by napoleon and portugal was a dictatorship
the dutch story is more complicated and closer, with napoleon being involved (again)
- breppp 2y agoI am talking about the 20th century where all countries lost their colonial empires at around the same time late 40s-70s, you are referring to a much earlier period
- blibble 2y agoBritain, Spain and France still have parts of their empires Spain, Portugal, France and the Netherlands lost their superpower status before the start of the 20th century if you're in the year 2300, maybe the state Spain and Portugal ended up several hundred years after the loss of their superpower status is of interest but today, the question we are interested is in "what happens at the point the US loses dominance over the world?" will the US will handover the reigns to China in the way Britain did to the US?
