China's external turmoil can be boxed within the 1800s and I don't think it included: 80+% of casualties, forced religious conversion, forced language conversion, wholesale destruction of books and culture, etc.
- suddenlybananas 10mo ago>China's external turmoil can be boxed within the 1800s Yeah except for that time that Japan tried to conquer them while they were in a civil war.
- xandrius 10mo agoTrue but do you really think, all summed up, they had it worse than LATAM?
- suddenlybananas 10mo agoGiven that the worst of colonialism happened in 16th and 17th centuries and by the 1930s, China was in a worse position than much of Latin America (e.g. Argentina), I would say that they had a harder go of things more recently than Latin America.
- girvo 10mo agoNo it really _really_ cannot be. Go read a history book.
- xandrius 10mo agoGraceful arguing right there. If you feel like enlightening us how China fared worse than LATAM or you can avoid being all snarky like that.
