Are you sure you've looked back at history? People's freedoms are typically limited by elites in their own country, not by foreign enemies.

  the two are not mutually exclusive. Consider the a the number of former colonial powers is small compared to the number of former colonies.

    The only difference between a normal government and a colonial government is the degree of integration. If you live under any government you are ruled, not free. The countries we have now grew by conquering and accumulating territory -- that is except in the cases where territories decided to give up their independence like the states in the US.
