Eh, it depends. Portugal and Spain were more integrating than the rest (Portugal literally shifted the government to Brazil during Pedro I, while the Spanish were intermarrying and handing out Spanish dukedoms to Native American monarchs).
France was dumb because they barely did any extraction while they exploited the natives.
- ElProlactin 2mo ago> Portugal and Spain were more integrating than the rest... I'm sorry but your characterization is very strange given the history. Portugal and Spain were just as brutal as the French.
- fakedang 2mo agoYeah, I realized that when going down the rabbit hole. In a certain respect, the French were the least asshole-ish of the lot, simply because they didn't know how to colonize and extract properly.
- ElProlactin 2mo agoThey were all despicably brutal beyond redemption. Some things simply can't be rationalized, justified or compared.
